What Is Life?

As rightly quoted by Babe Ruth, “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game”, just give it a try with all your efforts, you shall succeed. Life is a masterpiece, a painting, a collection of various colours. Life, when compared to this painting, is a conglomeration of these colours, which represent the experiences and various situations we might enter, in our lives. Life never allows us to win at each step, there is no success at each step, but there is always teaching, a lesson, at every step, in every experience. 

Life is like a journey, that is to be enjoyed to its full extent and whose destination is the achievement of inner peace and satisfaction. Life is full of unanticipated events, innumerable mysteries to be solved, various secrets to be revealed, and several lessons to be learnt. Giving a complete definition to life is a quite complicated task since life isn’t something that can be expressed in words, it is just something that can be experienced, and felt from the deepest corners of our hearts.

Our life isn’t defined by what we achieve, which profession we opt for or how much wealth we earn. Instead, a sense of deep satisfaction before going to bed every night, a mind full of our independent thoughts and perspectives, a heart full of feelings, respect for the people dear to us and a gamut of emotions bursting inside us when we are asked to speak up on a topic really close to our heart, hesitation before our first stage performance, the grief of parting from our best school friends, are all the events and experiences which define life, bring glory to our life, making it even more beautiful and enjoyable.

Life does very often compel us to enter into some situations that are really convincing and strong, so much that they end up having a long-lasting impact on us and help us become more mature and have a transformed outlook towards various life situations. Life is not just the availability of wealth, a high paid job or a professional degree; instead, it is a cluster of the relationships with our dear ones, which are the most prized possessions we have. In our relations with our friends, family and mother Earth, nature, tend to define life, add glory to it and make it a memorable and congenial journey. What we need to learn is to just value these relations, to understand the true significance they hold in our lives, and the pleasure, and ecstasy they add to our lives.

Life always gives you a chance to learn, to try and to be the best version of yourself. Just put in your absolute hard work, with sheer determination, and set a goal you desire to accomplish in your life. Train your mind to discover positivity in every experience, stay strong, don’t allow the past to take up so much of today, don’t be stressed about the future, just enjoy the present to its full extent since you deserve to be happy !!!!
