When we are children we’re taught to always play fair. Cheating is seriously discouraged and we’re told to play by the rules and treat others fairly. Those are true concepts and being fair in everything we do enhances our ethical standards and helps others trust us. But sometimes things happen outside our control that aren’t fair and we may end up in situations that are difficult to manage and hard to understand. We only have control over our own actions and it doesn’t feel fair to be subjected to someone else’s bad decisions but nobody is an island and there may be times when that happens and our lives are negatively impacted. We can strive to always be fair but life won’t always cooperate. Unexpected things can go wrong at any time. We may get sick, or have a freak accident, or be hurt by circumstances beyond our reach. Our sense of fairness may get bruised when things turn against us. When we’re in the midst of unearned and unexpected trials we may suffer but we can hold onto our confidence. Even if it’s hard to find our footing we can trust that we can still stand tall and look ahead. No problem can last forever. In the end, most of the time life is fair but while we’re in the middle, muddling through, we may get lost a time or two. Life is constantly changing and we have all the courage and wisdom we need to navigate even the hardest times. We can hold onto what we know is true and find our way. Nothing is powerful enough to stop us from moving forward and every blessing is just steps away.
It seems fair that we should all get what we deserve. Bad people who do things to hurt others should suffer and good people who are helpful and kind should gain happiness. However, there will likely be times when we see bad people succeed while those who are trying their best struggle. The law of the harvest is inescapable and immutable. If we plant seeds of discontent, disharmony and pain, we will eventually reap the harvest of those choices. It might not happen right away, and years may go by before we see things change, but balance will come. We are all accountable for everything we do and the choices we make determine our future happiness.
The old saying that “there is no such thing as a free lunch,” is correct. Everything we do exacts a price of some sort. If we make good choices that move us closer to where we want to be, we will reap the benefits and find success. If we jumble up the works with confusion, complication and turbulence the way forward will be harder to navigate and more difficult to find. We can make excellent choices that pave the road to happiness and peace, even in times of trial. We can have the lives we dream about by choosing wisely and continuing forward with confidence and wisdom.
Today if you feel life is unfair and you can’t win, move toward your next step. You can navigate through any complication or trial and choose wisely in ways that will bring you happiness. Your life is yours to design and all your dreams can come true. Nothing can keep you from success. Continue forward and you will prevail.
