only dead fishes swim with the stream

life is difficult,and the rules is to thank God,it is so,if it was all fluffy and easy we wouldnt be tested,tried,forged in the fire of life,we wouldnt grow or learn to change,or have a chance to rise above ourselves,if life were a series of lvely days,we d soon get bored,if there was no rain,then there wouldnt be any feeling of great joy when it finally stopped and we could go to the beach if it was all  easy we couldnt get stronger,so be thankful it is a struggle some of the time and recognize that only dead fishes swim with the stream.for the rest of us there will be times when its an uphill upstream struggle,we will have to battle waterfalls,weirs and raging torrents,but we have no choice we have to keep swimming or get swept away.and each flick of our tail,each surge of our fins makes us stronger and fitter,leaner and happier
