Hardships is a self created phenomenon. Infact it is just our unwillingness to accept changes. If we could accept changes, there will be no such word as 'hardship' in the dictionary (well, maybe there will be, but it would just mean a ship which is made of hard material.)
The funny thing is, our body accepts changes more easily than our mind. Its our mind which is the real b/tch..sara masla hi iss bhejey ka hae.
