“Difficult times always make us realize the true value of good times. Only a hungry person can appreciate the taste of a loaf of bread- however hard and old that loaf may be. Only a homeless person can truly appreciate the value of a roof over the head- even if it’s in an old unpainted building. Only the blind can appreciate the true value of sight- even if it’s hazy. And so on. So problems and difficulties teach us to better appreciate the good times. They are very important or else our lives would be partial. God is ALWAYS with us; never think, even in your wildest dreams, that He can ever forsake us. If you have been through only good times, you may have forgotten Him, because you were too busy celebrating and enjoying life. He was always there watching over you and keeping you out of harm’s way. It is only during your difficult times that you turn to Him. When things get out of hand you started cribbing and complaining that He has left you to the wolves. No, that’s not true; He was and is always there by your side. He’s now busy solving your problems and showing you a way out of the mess you are in. It is, perhaps, His way of showing the other side of life; of making you realize that things do go wrong and sunshine as well as rain should be taken in your stride. He sends rain to you to make you appreciate the warmth of sunny days. He puts you through difficult times to teach you the value of good times. It’s His way of teaching you to see the silver lining. You will not crib about the huge electricity bill, because you are earning enough to afford a good house with lights and heating gadgets to keep it warm. You will not feel irritated with the out of tune singer in the row behind you because it means that you can hear well. You will not feel miffed with your daughter for having dropped coffee on your clothes, because it means you have a family to come home to. Appreciate what you have and have thank the Lord for all that He has given you instead of crying for what you don’t have.”

Latika Teotia“I wish that you fall in love with yourself. I can see the beautiful colours of your loving soul-which you are not able to appreciate.”
Latika Teotia“Though problems have the eerie ability to pull us down but I am my own hope and I can’t let myself down.”
Latika Teotia“Despite your pains and your problems you can still be kind to others as they are not responsible for your misery.”
Latika Teotia“Do not be unkind to others just because you are passing through difficult times because they are not responsible for your misery.”
Latika Teotia“Acceptance for me is loving what “is” and not in looking back at the past. I do not need to know what the future holds either- if the present is good, can the future be anything less than good?”
Latika Teotia“I pride myself in being a kind, loving, caring and gentle person. But, that does not mean that I am weak or a “push over” and that I can be trampled underneath someone’s feet. No, most certainly not. I set my boundaries and no one, just no one is permitted to cross those lines.”
Latika Teotia“Learn to feel good and you will realize that your life becomes better…”
Latika Teotia“On the wings of love I soared high in the sky, free as a bird feeling blessed that I could love once again. That tight knot in my stomach which always drained my emotions had suddenly disappeared. “I’m free at last ” I shouted with unbridled glee.”
Latika Teotia“You’ll be able to receive gifts of love from others if you are willing to share yours with them…”
