Roll up the rim(and u so wont win)
Life for me is like a roll up the rim cup from good old Timmy Ho's.
I don't like coffee, it's gross, it tastes like bum. But, I do however like cappucino and tea. So, currently(because I am an addict), I have been drinking like 3-4 hot beverages a day from Tims all because there is a chance I may win some kick butt prize when I get done and roll up my friggin rim. But do I win, so very rarely. And usually, if I do win, it's a friggin donut. Who the frig wants a donut anyway. But still, every time I drink my hot beverage, I get so anxious, the anticipation almost more than I can handle. And then, with all the excitement welling within, I roll up the rim, only to loose. In a fit of anger, I throw my cup to the floor and curse Tim Hortons and swear I'll never roll up another rim. But still, I know, Ill be back, in a few hrs, to roll up the rim yet again.
How is this like my life you might ask. Well, everyday, I think there could be something good in store, but everyday, I roll up my metephorical rim with anticipation, just to discover, just as I suspected, im still a loser!!!

Your post reminds me of an object lesson we learned in Eileen Tanner's class. It was about adversity. You can be like an egg that is maleable on the inside, but when placed in boiling water (adversity) we become hardened and do not let anything in or out. Or you could be like a carrot, strong and firm, but when placed in adversity it becomes soft and weak. Or you could be like the tea bag, when it is placed in adversity it changes the water. So be like the tea bag in your Tim's cup, don't let adversity control you, but change the adversity to suite your circumstance.
