Life was Never meant to be a "Bed of Roses" . Each one of us goes through "Good Times and Bad Times" and there is a need to understand the Difference between Good and Bad Times..
"Good Times" are defined by:
Happiness, Love and Being Loved, Success, Confidence, Harmonious Relationships, Good Health.
When we are having "Bad Times" :
we think of God, Prayers and Faith
We are more Disciplined,
we are lot more Humble.
When times are difficult we put in more Efforts and try to do our Very Best in all our endeavours
When we are having Good Times:
Happiness makes us Lazy, Indisciplined, indulge in food and grow a belly
Love makes you Pampered,
Success boosts your Ego,
Confidence make one Arrogant,
during good times we take
Relationships for Granted
and we are Very Casual about our Health.
Basically Good Times Bring the Worst out of all of us and Difficult Times Bring the Best out of each one of us as an Individual Times
So when you are having Good Times but you Practice all that you would do when you have Difficult times you will not have difficult times ever.
So Good or Difficult Times You practice what you'd would in difficult times like believe in God Prayers Faith and as an individual be disciplined, Humble, Put in your Best efforts and do your best always in all matters of life.
Basically it Boils down to Doing everything in Moderation all through life
Never Pamper your Children as they will take the Good Times for Granted and will not know how to survive when the going gets tough. Parents who say "No to Children" more often are in fact teaching their children discipline.
Think about it.
I personally had the Luxury of growing up during tough times, never could afford anything I loved from a simple Mouth Organ to a BulBulTara and good times never swayed me as it was all mostly an illusion, when success is defined by Money, Wealth and Power, both of which corrupt us as individuals making us weak. All the Good Time Friends will disappear when you are going through bad times and only True friends will be around, when you are going through a rough patch. Cherish them and embrace them as they are God Sends and Your True Friends
