Johnny Cash said that life is rough, so you have to be tough. Not all the roads you will walk on will be smoothly tarmacked. Some roads will be bumpy, rough, and long. So what do you do when you find yourself on the rough tracks?
Rough patches in life will not always warn you that they are on the way. You simply end up walking on a rough patch that you were not prepared for. In times like that, nothing seems to be going right. It looks like everything just flipped on you and turned upside down.
Your plan is thrown out of the way and you don't know how to take the next step. Maybe you wanted to do something big with your life, maybe you were thinking of starting something, or maybe things were going on so well, that you thought nothing could go wrong.
Then suddenly, an obstacle cropped out of nowhere and everything fell apart. It feels like you cannot get everything back in place or even keep going. It looks like the situation is hopeless and helpless. But you need to remember that the journey of life is not a smooth one.
The road is full of bumps, potholes, sharp ends, and rough edges. All these flaws along the way help you appreciate the good things you already have and those you are going to get as you move along.
Embrace the roughness because that way, you will be able to see the good side of things. When the going becomes rough, there are always lessons for you to learn, strength for you to gain, and better times ahead waiting for you.
