Life is never easy and never handed to most of us in a silver platter. It entails a lot of sacrifices, challenges, happiness, joys, pain, all mixed into our lives. Sometimes we felt we wanna give up. Sometimes we felt we are so down and want to escape things. But there are moments also of extreme joy and satisfaction. In the midst of everything, we struggle for meaning and direction as we journey in this thing called life. At the bottom line, they always say that LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. Indeed, despite of everything not so good, over-all we should still thank the above for a good chance to partook of this thing called LIFE.

LIFE is not a highway, it's a jungle and inside it we have to build the road to keep the journey.Indeed LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL till we keep the journey, when we stop that's the end.

The path we take in life will determine if we will be a well rounded, happy, honest person in life or a poor excuse for a human being. Life indeed is beautiful; look at the trees, flowers and wildlife about you. Life is a miracle.

Life is mixed with ups and downs and we need to come across each and every situation. That does not mean that we are prepared for everything. Situation makes us to face the problems or hurdles. Evenif we want to give up something, we can or can not do that. There will be most happiest moments also in one's life. Joy and sorrow are the 2 sides of the life. Let's be prepared for the best and the worst situations that we come across.

I could not agree more. Life is exactly as you described it, life is a time of low points but also high points and we all have to take the rough with the smoothe. We are all blessed to be a part of this world and to be able to live our life in this world no matter how bad things may seem at times. Life is like borrowing a Ferrari for a day, you know that sometime the ride is going to end and you will have to give back the Ferrari so why not just enjoy the ride whilst you have the chance.

we can probably think of the good and the bad times in our lives. the truth is we are riding the emotional roller coaster of life. the most important aspect is HOW we deal with the ups and downs. it may be difficult to see the good in the midst of the bad when we are in the middle of it, but if we allow Him to work in our hearts, towards the end we can grow from the experience. the bible reminds us that in life there are going to be rough places in the road. but the Lord has "overcome the world." because of that, we can grow and learn in the good times and the bad times.(John 16:33) no matter what happens in this so-called LIFE, someone out there has given us the HOPE and assurance that HE will be with us in every step we make.
