Life on Pause

My friend came to me today a little distressed about a certain predicament presented to her before classes started. I always see myself as the older sister in these situations and the best way I knew to help her was to let her know that whatever difficult situation that she needed to overcome, she should always see it as an opportunity to use her mind. A problem is something we don't have an answer to, and if we give up the first time we encounter it by crying or feeling sorry for ourselves then it would be like accepting that we will never ever find a way to overcome it.

Nothing is easy, but if we try to see things differently it could be. Right now, being a student and being partly self-employed hasn't been the greatest, because I feel like I had to keep my life on pause, but it's okay. I find every little thing as an a opportunity for whatever great thing I stumble upon. Maybe I just haven't taken real time to appreciate what I got.
