Words that made me think

I heard some words read out one day this week, that I'd like to share. You may or may not like them, but I did, very much.
Here goes:

"I asked for strength, and was given difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom, and was given problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity and was given a brain and muscles to work.
I asked for courage, and was given dangers to overcome.
I asked for love, and was given people to help.
I asked for favours, and was given opportunities.

I asked for everything to enjoy life,
And instead God gave me life,to enjoy everything.

I received nothing I wanted, but I received everything I
needed.

It makes sense to me Mups, that's just about how I look at life.

Re: Words that made me think

Definitely words to live by - thank you, Mups.

Re: Words that made me think

Substitute "nature" for "God" and I agree!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger?
It also leaves you injured, destitute, resentful, miserable...
