Life, life is sometimes generous, sometimes difficult. Navigating life is not an easy thing to do, yet, people do it anyway. Planning for things yet seeing them slipping away, or trying so hard after something yet getting nothing in return, slowing down but also wanting to move forward, listening to noises yet yearning for silence, these are all the chords of life, making each of our lives a beautiful version.

One of our common thoughts is: “Can I do this? Will life give me a chance or am I even capable?” The answer is here and there not very clear until our heart aligns with our mind. However, as water keeps flowing, life moves on whether we want it or not. The secret is to not get stuck, but follow the rhythm. If life is a song, might as well sing it beautifully.

Pushing forward, life expects something from us while we expect something out of life. Every desire must come with actions. The intersection between effort and challenges is the juice of life. With the right intention and right actions, we can pursue pretty much everything we want. Though, it is unrealistic to expect them to happen all at once, the lesson of grit and patience is always there for us to learn by heart. The tougher the life of a grape, the better the wine is.

The dots are to be connected, the gaps are to highlight the ups and downs. Life never stops, just us giving up on life. We wait, and wait, and wait but nothing has happened, then our hearts get worn out. Unexpectedly, life never lets us down as long as we still look forward to it.

Every moment is to be cherished. When the sun rises up or when it goes down, when the wind blows or when the night has started, every time we open our eyes and get to enjoy the beauty of life, it is a chance for us to be thankful. Life has so much to offer, to live is already a happiness. Joy to the world, here I come, to live my life.
