Life is not because of it, Rather in spite of it

My Dear Rishi,

I missed  talking to you on the weekend love.

Few years back I came across an interesting article, unfortunately I don't know who is the author nor do I remember the source or the original article. I remember writing the following in my dairy

Life is not because of it, Rather in spite of it

Mother earth is never benevolent to any seeds.It does not  make the process of germination easy for any seed. The seed has to and sprout against the force of earth to emerge  above the  soil. Providential it is that the very earth which stood against till it sprouted then nurtures its growth. It is nature's way of qualifying the seeds worth and if found deserving, it provides all the resources that are needed for it to grow to its full potential.

Similarly, all great men and women were ordinary who were forced to meet and undergo great challenges by circumstances. History is full of simple human beings who won over forces well beyond their control and emerged as champions. So, life is not a journey of "because of it, it is rather in spite of it.".

Rishi, life will throw challenges at you, it is up to you to take those challenges and turn them into opportunities. Life is beautiful, life is fantastic, this universe has enough to support to every ones needs but not every ones greed.

God bless you Rishi, I love you and miss yo very much.

With lots of love, hugs and kisses,

Daddy
