If you want rainbows you gotta have rain

In a perfect world, everything would always go right.
There would be no disappointment or trials, and
Life would be filled with only sweet, warm, and fuzzy feelings.

But how would we know if things were good if we had no comparison?
Would we recognize the blessings in our lives
Without having the opposite to compare them to?
Without the darkness, would we appreciate the light?

Seems to me if we want rainbows, we gotta have rain.
The trick is to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and go out and look for puddles to play in;
Recognize the tempest for what it is and train ourselves to look for the good in every situation.
By overcoming our adversity, we find the joy in everything.

So go on, go play in the rain!

So funny that is where my head goes when something not so great happens. I think without contrast we would not know how beautiful something is. We wouldn't know how good happiness feels if we never felt bad. Thanks for your post.

So true, and yet so easy to forget.
