LIFE IS A TEST

One of my favorite posters says,

"Life is a test.
It is only a test.
Had this been a real
life you would have been
instructed where to go and
what to do." Whenever I think
of this humorous bit of wisdom, it
reminds me to not take life so seriously.
When you look at life and its many challenges
as a test, or series of tests, you begin to see each
issue you face as an opportunity to grow, a chance to
roll with the punches. Whether you're being bombarded
with problems, responsibilities, even insurmountable
hurdles, when looked at as a test, you always have
a chance to succeed, in the sense of rising above
that which is challenging you. If, on the other
hand, you see each new issue you face as a
serious battle that must be won in order
to survive, you're probably in for a
very rocky journey. The only time
you are likely to be happy is
when everything is working
out just right. And we
all know how often
that happens.

I'd love to take credit for the above,
but it came from a book entitled
DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF
and it's all small stuff
