LIFE
Three words best describes Life – it goes on. Whether we choose to participate in it or we choose to stand by and watch as it passes us by – whatever option we may choose for coping, for enjoyment or simply existing – the fact remains life will always go on.
What we can affect is how it goes on, how we can make that journey more conducive to our needs and wants, how we as individuals can make our lives more livable, more meaningful, and more worthwhile.
A positive outlook on life, surrounding one’s self with the right company, trust and belief in God are some of the measures that lead to a more meaningful and worthwhile life.
Most people spend their existence trying to make a living, always preparing for life as opposed to living it in its present state.
Some people set goals and targets and when they have been met, then their lives are essentially over as they settle into a routine, mundane existence not enjoying the life given to them by the achievement of said goals and targets.
Life for some people are a series of mishaps and constant battle to stay afloat, to survive. These people generally feed into that which is negative, anticipating an unfortunate incident at every turn. They essentially breed and sow negativity into existence.
And there are others who live life with no concern whatsoever, with no regard for consequences and with responsibility being to them just another 14-letter word making up the dictionary.
The perfect life – if there is ever one- or the life that brings one the most joy and fulfillment is one lived with a fair amount of balance. A firm understanding of one’s surroundings, coping skills, an open mind and the ability to make the necessary adjustments related to the aforementioned can put one on a direct path to some modicum of balance and certainly a greater understanding of and appreciation for this dynamic gift we call LIFE!
