Life is great. And anyone who has found the beauty of it will agree with me. It may not be as perfect, not as extraordinary as others expect it to be but to those who discover those moments that fill our own personal space and make each second count, the feeling is just, priceless.
Some say, it is unfair. That it goes around in circles and in cycles. Others become stuck; hence, they become dormant, to the point that they don’t do anything about it. However, some are brave enough to channel their negative experiences into a positive one, and reunite with the grace, that is life. To those who are too egoistic to not even give a chance to find themselves in the most unusual incidents that happen to them, may have a hard time appreciating it.
Sadly, it is an unfortunate dilemma that many people can attest to. And it got me thinking, that maybe, people are fearful of failing and disappointing themselves because they are afraid that they might not have their happy ending at all. So, they suck up to self-pity and doubt. They are blinded by this morosely-fated destiny they think they are cursed with. But they have a choice. We always do. There are the infinite possibilities that could transpire, and if we choose to let it pass, we really won’t find our own pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We have to work on it. And we must sweat for it (even when it gets stinky already).
Choose your battles well, I have encountered this saying a lot, and for me, it makes a whole lot of sense. Simple words, yet it resounds greatly. Learn to fight, but also, know when to raise the white flag and call it a truce. Remember, that you don’t win because you want to prove something, but you do it because you understand the gravity to which you stick up to your grounds; and you accept defeat, because you know there is nothing else to lose but your pride.
Through the years, I’ve been very adamant about unearthing the purpose to which I live for. I’ve always been fascinated by this idea of doing something for the greater glory, and dedicating your life in pursuit of it. But then, I’ve come to realize that what if, there’s really no purpose? That we should just live life as it is, do the things that would make us happy and contented; spend each day with the people you love, allot time to the things you care about, unravel the mystery that is of tomorrow, and learn to love it. So, make the most out of that privilege and embrace it.
Life is great.
And for those who still don’t get it…
Goodluck.
