Do you know what life is? How would you define life?

Clearly, life is the most precious gift given to us by God and it’s up to us in which
direction we would like to take it. We can either make it or break it through our actions. So it’s a
very pertinent topic to address either in school, college, office or on a public platform. As we see
these days, our youth wasting their lives and whiling away their time recklessly, it of course has
become a serious cause of concern for us.

However, if I talk about life, I would say that it’s difficult to define it in a few words. But
I would like to share an important axiom, “Life is a journey and not a destination”. This journey
is full of adventure and is never the same all the time. It’s a fascinating mixture of good times
and bad times, achievements and disappointments, happiness and sorrow, luxury and struggle,
opportunities and frustrations and a lot more. The road of this journey is bumpy and rough to
give you a really difficult time and take you by the storm. But people react to such situation
differently as some give up, some stumble and fall badly but rise again to win in the end. Thus,
life is really about those people who are truly fighters and want to make their way by any means.
With this attitude and constant striving, such people become immortal and their stories of
bravery become a source of inspiration for others.

On the other hand, life would become very monotonous and dull if you would experience
same emotion and there are no challenges to face. Time-tested situation and challenges only help
a person to become a better and refined individual because if there would be no difficult situation
in life we will not be able to realize our potential and inner strength. So take life as a game, make
mistakes and then learn from your mistakes. Perfection lies in imperfection and we all attain our
goals by making mistakes. You must struggle to achieve what you want to achieve – whether it’s
a good job, big mansion or a huge bank balance – however, don’t do it at the expense of others
and by snatching other’s possessions which rightfully belong to them.
 Remember that there will be a pain of loss, failures and loneliness but peace shall ensue
in the end as it is often said, “There is rainbow after the rain”. Failing every time doesn’t mean
that you are a loser ad cannot really achieve anything it could even be that the time is not
favoring you. So grab every single opportunity you find in your way and leave no room for
regrets and sweat to labor. Life is like a kaleidoscopic picture with multifarious options. You
would also discover your world ultimately just keep chasing your dreams and work relentlessly
without giving up. There will be times when you will turn completely blank, but remember there
is a world out there which is shining bright and beautiful for you.

Thank You!
