Live Life to the Fullest
“Life”…….. isn’t it a simple word? Then why do we make it so complicated by drowning into a sea of our own expectations? Life means to live for ourselves. Each of us should aim for integrity, forget about the past and instead look ahead. The future will hold great opportunities for you if you play your cards right and the journey will be filled with good experiences, not regrets.
In my first year of graduation, I encountered circumstances where I started losing my confidence and my faith in my capabilities because of being afraid of facing situations and being unaware of most of the things that were essential. I started comparing myself with others and tried to do whatever they were doing. And obviously, as I was doing too many things, it resulted in mental stress and I was not even able to do the things which I actually love and enjoy. I was completely losing myself, the real me. That was the time when I realised that no matter how hard you try, not everything is in your hand.Something is always going to escape.
Everyone aims for a perfect life. What do we mean by the term "ideal" life? A good job, money, life full of happiness, no sorrows, no failure. Right? But remember, with money you can buy a house, not a home; with money you can buy a clock, not time; with money you can buy a bed, but not sleep; with money you can have food, but not health; with money you can have an insurance, but not safety. The attempt to have a perfect life is simply a fantasy. We may never be able to get that perfect life, but we can definitely live well and try to lead a meaningful, purposeful and joyful life. Get rid of the idea that life will be perfect at some point. Each of us want a perfect life, wherein everything is going right, everyone is upbeat. Let go of this fantasy. Life is a real mystery which even God cannot understand. Some people stay away from their dreams to be with their dear ones, yet others stay away from their dear ones to chase their dreams. If we try to hold onto all the things in life, it's not possible. In this journey of life, the take-off and the landing is not in our control. What is in our control however is the choices that we make. So………
“Live life to the fullest because you only live once.”
