Keep Smiling

Rainbow

 ♫♫ "But oh, can't you see

That no matter what happens

Life goes on and on

So baby, just smile

'Coz I'm always around you

And I'll make you see how beautiful

Life is for you and me"  ♫♫

We are just humans and problems are part of our lives. What we should do is to worry less (Hakuna Matata - Lion King), and do not over think! As we advance in life it is also accepted that it gets more and more difficult.  Just always remember, you still have a reason to smile because you don't own all the problems in the world. Based on my college professor, it is good to "problematize"(1) for you to better understand things, in order to create meaning, that is why it is also called as meaning-making. But, sometimes "problematizing"(2) is no good at all it just causes you stress. Sometimes you have to let it all go and then relax. Let us now use "rain" as a symbol for sorrow, pain, worries, stress, and problems. While the "rainbow" symbolizes joy, peace, love, and happiness. Now, let us apply it in real life. After the heavy rain, rainbows will always come right after it. For every pain there is an equivalent or should I say that you should expect that happiness will come right away. But, we should also consider that good things don't just come by in front of us, you should do something for yourself in order to be happy. Remember, Good things come for those who wait but, better things come for those who work for it.
