Life is a test, it is only a test. Had this been a real life you would have been instructed where to go and what to do. This humorous bit of wisdom reminds us not to take life too seriously. It also presents us with an alternative way to view the challenges life presents us. The next time you have a 'problem,' redefine it as a test. Ask yourself - why is this issue in my life? What can I learn from it? Can I see this issue from a different perspective? Often times, the real test is how we accept the struggles of life - with stress and frustration - or with grace and calm.
