Life Is a Test. It Is Only a Test
One of my favorite posters1 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 wisdom2, it reminds me to not take my 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 discover more about life. Whether youre being bombarded(攻击;质问) with problems,responsibilities,even insurmountable(不能克服的,不能超越的) difficulties, 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, youre probably in for a very rocky6 journey. The only time youre likely to be happy is when everything is working out just right. And we all know how often that happens.
As an experiment, see if you can apply this idea to something you are forced to deal with. Perhaps you have much pressure from your parents or you have a demanding7 boss. See if you can redefine the issue you face from being a problem to being a test. Rather than8 struggling with your issue, see if there is something you can learn from it. Ask yourself, Why is this an issue in my life? What would it mean and what would be involved to rise above it? Could I possibly look at this issue any differently? Can I see it as a test of some kind?
