Living your life the way you want!

Living your life the way you want!

Life, the word itself holds vast meaning. As the saying goes, life is the C between B and D and it’s your choice on what to do during the time period between birth and death. Everybody wants a happy life. We all want everything to be sorted out. But it’s not as easy. Life is meant to be a roller coaster ride but with every up and down, you learn lessons that make you stronger. It is too short to wake up with regrets.

The best option is to love the people who treat you right and forget the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. 

To some a happy life may mean being a millionaire and for others it may be just self satisfaction. There are different levels and meanings to what people consider a happy life. But however you try to define the journey of life, there is always struggle. 

But I feel what stops us to work hard is our huge expectations. We should try to manage our expectation and take a peek into reality and be happy at what we have in present. We are given one life and it’s upon us to live the way we want.
