Disappointment and trouble are often the way (instruments) in which we are fashioned for better and bigger things to come. You must never give up. Life never takes away from us without giving something better in its place. Life is not a straight and easy corridor; the road is not always smooth and unhampered. Many times our paths are like a maze of passages through which we must seek, search, and find our way. At times we find our way and then are confused - at one time we find ourselves on a freeway and then again in a blind alley. But always, if we have faith, God will open another door. Perhaps not the door we thought was the best but another door, which HE knows is the best, that will take us to a greater and more useful destination.

Because there's nothing greater than the experience of love and life and everything in between.

It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean one thinks of it like being alive in a box, one keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead…which should make all the difference…shouldn't it?

So far I've learnt that every day of your life must be lived to the fullest. Life is about smiling, laughing, and crying. Life is about making the most of what you have and what you're given. It's about keeping relationships and losing them. Life is about falling in love and losing someone you do love. Life was given to us as a challenge, and it's not easy, but you have to try and meet that challenge and make the most of it while you can because you don't actually know when it will be your turn to lay down to rest. You only have one shot at life, so make sure you take it with both hands and squeeze every little drop out of it you can. - Grant Hancock

It is not easy to live life some times and face the world with a smile when you are crying inside.
