Judging by an unrealistic criterion makes one
think that one has ended up with the wrong
partner. A lot of people live with this notion and
their lives are filled with misery till the day they
die. If they had known of and accepted the reality
of life, they would have lived differently. And they
would have taught their children the same as well.
If all parents taught their daughters the reality of
life, and prepared them for the many challenges
they would face, things would be different. The
daughter would take things in a positive manner,
would regard new circumstances as challenges
posed by nature, and utilize her God-given
capabilities to build a successful life for herself.
Life is a challenge for both men and women.
Those who know this will see this challenge as a
ladder to progress, and by climbing this ladder
will reach the higher stage destined for them.
Comfort does not lie in material pleasures;
comfort lies in discovering the secret to adjusting
to one’s circumstances.
