Life! Your Most Precious Gift


Life can be beautiful yet can be frustrating. Some days could be so exciting that we wish it would never end, others so frustrating that we regret why we woke into it. While some are celebrating, others are in grief. Indeed it is different strokes for different folks.
Life is full of uncertainties, which we cannot escape. Uncertainties are sometimes very disruptive and inconvenient. Although it can bring pain, yet it can also bring great joy and exciting new possibilities.
For some life is all about existing while for others like me, life isn’t life until you live. The choices and challenges that life throws up on a daily basis only add to the excitement. Tough times though challenging are moments that require careful reasoning. An optimist will always see opportunities in the midst of these challenges. In all, life is what you make of it.
Boys and girls will be your friend- they’ll act like it anyway. But remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything- they’re your best friends. Don’t let them go. As for lovers, they’ll come and go too. I hate to say it, most of them- actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soul-mate.
Failure also serves to instruct. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re always going to fail at everything. Quitters don’t win and winners don’t quit so keep trying. Believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then you have failed even before you started. If you don’t believe in yourself, who will?
Keep your head high up, keep your chin up and keep smiling because life is beautiful if only you can see it- Monroe
In the words of mother Theresa,
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it
Life is beauty, admire it
Life is a dream, realize it
Life is a challenge, meet it
Life is a duty, complete it
Life is a game, play it
Life is a promise, fulfill it
Life is sorrow, overcome it
Life is a song, sing it
Life is a struggle, accept it
Life is a tragedy, confront it
Life is an adventure, dare it
Life is luck, make it
Life is too precious, do not destroy it
Life is life, fight for it.
Until you live life your own way, then you are not living but merely existing. Dare to be different and dare to stand by the values you hold sacred. Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning. This is your life; live it your way for life is your most precious gift.
