Let's talk about life

Life. Is it the duration of time that we survive? Or we live? Everyone has their own opinion about life as per their own experiences. According to me, life is the duration of time we actually live along with the tests of fate or destiny. We can choose to live or direct life the way we want to. Surely, life will not go always go by our plans because of fate or destiny. Life is a roller coaster. We rise, we fall and we rise again. Life will not always be full of happiness or full of sadness. Just like a roller coaster, ups and downs are necessary to make life thrilling. Who would want the same things or emotions throughout the time that they survive and make their survival monotonous? Life is like the line shown on the monitors which shows our heartbeat (I don't know what exactly it is called😅). If the line goes up and down, we are alive. If the line becomes straight, we are dead. So even in the duration of time that we survive, both positive things/ feelings (happiness, success, etc) and negative things/ feelings (sadness, failures, depression, etc) are needed. Most people crib about problems, about being failed, etc but these are the things which actually make life thrilling and exciting. We would be bored with happiness and achievements alone, won't we? The majority of people only survive, i.e earn to purchase necessities to survive. And the rest actually lives their lives along with surviving.

Live the moments. Cherish and embrace those moments which will never come back. Do what you love to do- be it either as a career, or hobby or passion (not illegal things though😅). Have fun. Love yourself and others for just the way you and others are. Laugh and smile. Go on adventures, as money fills the pocket but adventures fill the soul (just try to come back alive to tell about your adventures😅😂). Face and conquer your fears. Do not care about what people would say. Help others in your own ways, be it small or big. Do not unnecessarily complicate your life. Live your life such that when you would be smiling during your last breathes. Live such a life that when you would be in the last moments of your duration of survival, you would not be thinking 'what-if-i-had' and won't have regrets in your life. Live such a life that in the future you would be happy about life by your own rules.

Apart from the fear that what will happen to your loved ones in your absence and how they would deal with your death (this fear is obvious), you would be happy about your life you lived if you had lived it by your choice. Death is inevitable and fearful, but also the biggest motivation to live your life. We die once and survive daily. The choice is yours- to live the moments you are surviving in or be dead in those moments too.

Live a life you will be happy to recall during your last breathes. A life story that will bring tears of happiness in your eyes in those last breathes (and even other times). The choice to direct your life rests in your hand, so use it wisely as time will not be reversed. You may not get any second chance, so live your life for yourself and do what you want to- for yourself and your happiness.

Live a life worth remembering with a smile!
