Life Analogies:
Life is like a box of chocolates…you never know what you're gonna get. -Forrest Gump's momma. =)
Life is like photography. We develop from negatives. (We can also skip the negatives by focusing on the positives. (as in digital photography).
Life is like a steering wheel. It only takes one small move to change your entire direction.
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit, and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs. But it's your choice to scream or enjoy the ride.
