“ Life is full of choices.”

As other people say, life is a gift from God that needs to be cherished, and not to be taken for granted.

In our everyday lives, we come across many experiences. On this journey, we meet individuals from All walks of life who have found the secret of life and now wished to share it with us. What words will inspire me, move me from my depression to joy?
Are these words any different from what I’ve read before? Or are they much the same, just labeled differently?

Some of them are wonderful and meaningful that we wish to reminisce them each and every passing moments of our lives. Still, some of them are not so good that we

wouldn’t want to forget all about them the very instant we encounter them. A lot of people don’t know how to have

a better and wiser choice because we are so confused in what we are doing in our lives.

On this journey, we meet the piously religious people,

who believe that no matter what life throws at us, God will deliver us.

On this journey, we are introduced to self help books that stress no matter what negative feelings plague us, we can wrestle them into submission – stressing thinking positively, our negative feelings would seize to exist. They all promise instant healing full recovery, a cure of every ailment. But whether we have pleasant and meaningful memories alike, the most important thing to remember is that we need God, our families and love ones around us during these times. Happy memories become so much meaningful when we are able to share them with the people who matter to us most. In addition, let us also thank God for all these joy and gladness that He has showered upon us.

Similarly, during life’s difficult moments, when we feel lonely, depressed and frustrated, God and our loved ones become much more important to us, even more so than during the happy times. They are the source of strength and inspiration that will enable to surpass our problems and challenges.

As students, we don’t want to waste our lives just because of pressure from school and home. We need to focus so that it would be much easier to handle. We should know our principles in life and make good in our choices.

If life were only that simple….

Positive thinking works for those who are already in that frame of mind. If positive thinking really worked for all, we could cure homelessness, shut down all metal hospitals and prisons. We should not give up easily. As role models, we should face the reality of life and not be bothered by the destructions that it cause us.

What, then, is this journey called life?

First and foremost, we must acknowledge that life is difficult.

We think that when we reach the certain plateau in our lives, our problems will cease. These problems may stop only to open the door to more challenging ones. This journey involves taking risks – leaping into the unknown. We need life and all it has to offer to be a mystery. There is only one

absolute in life – that there are no absolutes.

We have no choice but to take this journey. We are either growing or we are dying. We do not remain stagnant. For if we do not take this journey, our alternatives lie in loneliness and despair.

Life is a gift from God that we should live it not with worry but full of hope and happiness. With God, our families and loved ones around us, it is worthwhile to take this journey we call – LIFE.
