Life is full of struggles.Sometimes，we simply want to shy away from them.But even when our minds are constantly telling us that we should call it a day，we can still keep on going.The solution is the Cookie Jar.
The Cookie Jar method was created by one of the toughest men alive，David Goggins.Goggins is a retired Navy SEAL，who has competed in more than sixty ultra-marathons triathlon.
To raise money for a non-profit organization for orphans，Goggins vowed to run Badwater 135.Badwater is the world's hardest foot race.To qualify for Badwater，one has to run 100 miles in 3 days，that is，4 marathons in one go.With zero preparation and training，Goggins decided to have a try.
For the first few miles of the race，he felt fine and had no trouble running.But at mile 50，his legs felt like they were loaded with lead.Still he ran.Then at mile 70，he couldn't take another step forward.Exhausted and feeling beaten down，he sat down to rest.He kept on asking himself， "Why？Why are you still doing this to yourself？" He then remembered this wasn't the first time he'd taken on an impossible task.And he suddenly felt some energy build up.He started walking slowly，step by step.He kept on digging in his past while remembering all his previous victories，making him get the energy he needed to keep on going.His feet were still a bloody mess，full of blisters.But it gave him just enough drive to sustain him，until the 100-mile mark.And that's what the Cookie Jar is.
We all have a cookie jar inside us.Whenever you face a challenge，whenever you want to give up，you open the cookie jar and pick a cookie.The cookie reminds you of something you've overcome and how far you've come.Eventually，you'll slowly build up your mind to be more mentally tough.Impossible，will turn into，I can do this.

1．Life comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow，failure and success，hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go Hayward（不歸路） and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care.They teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is shortlived，but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in jye.ai.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one，failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.

Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday，for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown，for it could either be bright or dull.So the only alternative is work hard today，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
