they come from , their nationality , colour , race or religion , have some tough issues that keep them scratching their heads . Even though some go through more challenging issues than others , the truth is that no one is exempt . That ' s the reality of life .
We all go through unfavourable issues that push us against a wall and put us in undesirable positions . Right from the time we are born until death , our lives are characterised by challenges . There are simply no exceptions . Most of us would agree that there seems to be a cloud of darkness that cover our lives and even though we cannot put a finger on exactly what bothers us , we can ' t deny that there really is something . This is the reason why there seems to be some form of opposition we can ' t really explain where it comes from and even though we desire to succeed and prosper in our lives , we find that for every one step ahead we make , we make two backwards . Most of us cannot explain this mystery and for this reason we choose to live life as it comes , or rather , resign to our own fate and choose to go with the flow of life .
Some do say that what you don ' t know cannot destroy you , but I believe that our ignorance is dragging many of us to destruction . Even though most of these things are hidden , they do have a great effect on our lives and destinies . There are those of us who feel that life is unfair and that we don ' t deserve what we are going through or what we go through , while others choose to cave in and accommodate ourselves within the environment of our unfavourable circumstances and situations . This ends up shaping us to become our limited selves and as a result , never live to realize who we really are .
Many people are captives of their environment and as a result , have become a shadow of themselves . We cannot really say that life is fair to some and unfair to others ; I believe this is not the case . Rather , we all have the opportunity to change what we don ' t like in our lives . Someone has wisely said that in this life there are three kinds of people ; those who watch things happen , those who wish for things to happen and those who make things happen . I believe that human beings fall into these three categories and it all happens by choice . You can choose to sit down and wish , watch or make things happen . It ' s upto you .
See , I have set before you today life and good , death and evil ... I call heaven and earth to witness against you today , that I have set before you life and death , blessing and curse . Therefore choose life , that you and your offspring may live ~ Deuteronomy 30:15 , 19 ESV
