Our lives are filled with ups and downs, but if we learn to smile at every situation, the negativity and stress we sometimes feel can become a catalyst for change. Our seemingly cloudy days can enable us to evolve and adapt to become a stronger person, one who is able to handle whatever life throws our way with ease and grace.
