“The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to
conquer.”— Arnold Schwarzenegger

Life isn't only about being born and dying; it's also about what we do with it; how we give it
meaning. Everything in between is the subject. The questions "Why am I here?" and "Why do I
deserve this existence?" are ones that some of us frequently ponder. Many things, in my opinion,
make life worthwhile. We are aware that life presents us with a variety of challenges—both good
and bad—that we don't think we can handle. We may decide how to make our lives worthwhile.
Regarding how we may make it significant. And it begins inside of us.
They advise us to choose happiness because life is brief. Let's desire fulfillment, but let's never
lose sight of the fact that our lives are lengthened. The longer we live on earth, the more
responsibility we will have to shoulder. I had a lot of dreams when I was little. I have a lot of
goals I want to accomplish, but they are fading as I get older. Now, I wish or consider how I can
survive each day more. I now have a greater understanding of the fact that death is the most
terrible part of life because it comes when we are weak, give up, and lose the will to live.On the
other side, a time will come when we can discover real happiness, a location where we are at rest
and are trouble-free. Life is just. Maybe the problems it raises prevent many people from
understanding it. As a human, I have also gone through those. The end? Weak? Do you lack the
will to live? And I loved life even more when I came across them. God only gave me those
difficulties so I might grow stronger. Improve your ability to handle life's hardships.
It's like how we live our life; it doesn't matter how other people dictate to us, how they
undervalue us, how they put us down, and how they condemn our flaws and failures. Rene
Descartes once stated, "It is not enough to have a good intellect. The key thing is to use it well."
How we use it to advance ourselves even further and demonstrate to others that we are more than
just ordinary humans who happen to be existing in this planet is what matters.We are individuals
who are here for a reason. We possess skills that others lack. I've come to realize that what
people think of you is not as important as how you can convince them that their opinions are
incorrect. No one can tell us how to live because this is our life other than God. We all make
mistakes since we are only human.
That's correct, we must make the most of our time here and "choose to be happy." Understand
our life's purpose. I can now say that I am gradually coming to understand my purpose in life.
Not just to make God pleased, but also to make me and other people happy. to make disciples
and win souls. even if nothing in return, lend a hand. Take on obstacles even when we feel we
can't handle them and succeed. that we try and try until we succeed in life. It's natural to lose, it's
normal to fail, but what's not normal is that we've already lost and forgotten without trying, as
the phrase goes, "Do not fear failing, but rather fear not trying."
I think we are the only ones who can give our lives purpose. It can be the lessons we've gained
from our own experiences or others. We can't move on if we simply deal with the present and
forget the past. Life is about progressing. And while it is challenging, we can overcome it
because we have a certain objective in mind.Since we cannot get our lives back
Once they are gone, we should now value them more. Life is for delight, and all we can
say is, "I wish I had done it." We ought to cherish and enjoy our lives rather than placing
pressure on ourselves. It is a gift from the Lord, and we ought to make an effort to use it in his
presence, particularly in front of other people.
I discovered that there are various methods in which we may all be good Samaritans. No matter
where we are in life, let's still make the decision to help even if there is no reward. Giving love
and caring to others is what matters most in our lives, not having money. I won't wait to be
useful; I'll take this chance to tell others that "OUR LIVES MATTER," not giving up and not
regretting, right now. We are all fearfully and wonderfully built, after all. Let's act in a way that
will benefit us and leave us with no regrets or bad memories.
We always provide our best effort, but keep in mind that "best can be worst if abused" and
always make the right decision for both us and other people. Always give back to
others.Considering this, I'd want to conclude with the phrase, "Life is not something that one
should take for granted." Rather than lamenting our existence, why not be grateful? We have had
experiences that will make us better people and help us have a better future. Thank God for
allowing us to fight and be strong in a world that once rejected us. And we give thanks to God
for lending us to our loved ones and family. And I've come to terms with the fact that he will
take me one day. He will eventually make a comeback. It's only a fact of life that things come
and go. But let's never lose sight of the memories we create while we are still alive.
