As we go through life, one could not help but ask, “Why do I experience the things I am experiencing?”, “Why do I go through this life with so many challenges and difficulties?”, “Why am I in my life stage as of now?”

With all the whys in life, the question one can ask is, “Is life a Rock, a Mountain or an Ocean?

When one goes through a difficulty, his life could be a rock. When somebody is hit in the head by a rock, it is a very excruciating experience. Rock in one’s life could be the real life challenges one is facing. And it is so painful and difficult to go through life when you are in a rock. The line which says, you are in a “rock bottom” is another way of describing the state of one person very low in life’s experiences.

A mountain is another way of describing life’s challenges. When one faces a mountain, it is describing something that is insurmountable, cannot be overcome, too big to handle and too great to bear. One’s vision is clouded when faced by a mountain. Climbing a mountain is another challenging feat one has to overcome. When one has a mountain, the person is experiencing a challenge too big to carry.

When one is the ocean, the image of the depth of the ocean confronts him. The ocean is so wide and is so immense. The vastness can drown a person, especially when there are waves in the ocean. When one is being drowned in the challenges of one’s life, it is a very difficult situation. The daily grind of the person is so real, that one cannot seem to breathe for what life has to offer. Gasping for breathe in the reality of life can be deadly and challenging.

While life can become a rock, a mountain or an ocean, life offers HOPE. Life offers something that no amount of challenges or difficulties can weigh a person down. In fact, instead of looking at the dark side of those three, it is better to look at the bright side of the rock, the mountain and the ocean.

Just like life, its beauty is so enthralling and so wonderful. The combination of the view of the rock, the mountain and the ocean can be overwhelming and uplifting. One can see the beauty of what life has to offer when in the sight of these three. One can see the HOPE that there is in life, when you are in the rock, the mountain and the ocean. The rays of sun gives one the hope needed to look forward to a brighter future.

And when you see the LIGHT, you cannot help but be overjoyed and appreciate the life that you have. You know you are victorious, despite what you are experiencing in your life. You will lift your hands and say, “I know I am a WINNER, I look forward to what life has to offer me!”
