Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates
Forrest Gump was right…. Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get until you bite into it.
Through your life journey you will come across different kinds of people and face different kinds of situations, just like when you open a box of chocolates….
Sometimes you get the soft-centers and everything goes right and smooth, feeds your taste-buds and life is a delight. Then along comes the nuts and there are a few different types out there, so you decide which ones you like hanging around with and discard the others.
Of-course life would not be life without the tough chocolate covered caramelized sweeties. You suck on them for a while, gets you a bit frustrated and the only way forward is to bite into them no matter how hard they are and crush them into small pieces. Confront your problems, sticking your head in a hole is not going to solve anything. You need to crush it and get over it.
Then there’s the half white half brown chocolate, separately they have their own taste but together they complement each other – never assume that you can go through life alone, we all need to stick together.
Who loves those Turkish delights? They’re the bouncy times, not too soft and not hard at all. This is when you know that everything is going to be okay, right up until you taste the crunchy chipped ones that seem to snap, crackle and pop in your mouth, the rocky road.
The exciting ones are the coconut filled ones which make you feel like you’re on holiday and you are smiling all the time. However, to know happiness you must know unhappiness and that is what you get when you bite into those ginger squares, and want to spit them right out.
I have to say that I have overcome the dislike of those ginger chocs over time – turn a negative into a positive.
Of-course there is always one dark chocolate that you will without doubt come across, that will leave you with a bitter taste. But be assured that somewhere on this journey you will meet the best ones and these are the minty centers -the most refreshing people, the ones who you can learn from, who making you feel good and leave you with that freshness in your mouth.
You see life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you’re going to get until you bite into it and this is the only way that you will learn what you like, and what you don’t.
So good times or bad, happy or sad, hard or soft, crazy or sane, difficult or easy, you can’t know one without knowing the other.
So that's my crazy article for the day and I hope you got something out that will help you see the lighter side of life. I do however leave you with one question; have you bitten into your life or are you just happy with your life being in the box?
Be kind to one another.
