Everyone has bad times in life. No
one is immune from adversity. For some people, the adversity may come late in
life and these people are devastated if they have never tasted adversity
before. For other people, bad times surround them at birth and adversity
follows them for life. We must understand bad times fall on a person's life
regardless of their race, creed, economic status, age, or origins. We must
never expect the good times to roll on forever. We must never expect good times
to come to us and stay forever. If we expect the good times to roll on forever,
we will be in shock when disaster strikes or bad times fall upon us. Our
willingness to admit bad times do happen enables us to prepare our heart, mind,
and soul in advance for what may come. Indeed, the person who prepares in
advance today for potential bad times in the future has a decided advantage
when bad times fall. In addition, the person who prepares in advance for bad
times has a greater sense of well-being and security during good times because
necessary preparations have been made. We must not delude ourselves into
thinking everything will be comfy and cozy in the future. A construction
manager in parts of the world where bad weather strikes should prepare in
advance for bad weather conditions. A person who needs to fight traffic jams
every day should prepare for adverse traffic by leaving at an appropriate time.
Knowing bad times may fall does not need to make us unhappy. Knowing and
preparing in advance for adversity can give us peace, happiness, and security
no matter what happens to us in the future.
