How do you live your life?

January 28, 2009 8:57am CST
Surely everybody desires to have a happy and fulfilling life. But with all the challenges, struggles and temptations around, how could you live your life just the way you wanted it to be? How could you survive in a chaotic world bombarded with all the problems and conflicts around and inside yourself? How do you think you can go on knowing that you are not at peace with yourself?

There is no such thing as a fairy tale life. There has to be ups and downs, struggles and triumphs, it all makes us stronger. I have come to realize that the only person who will make you happy is yourself. You can share happiness with others but happiness needs to come from withing. There are good days and bad days for all but its what you choose to do about them that makes the difference. Life is too short, make the most out of it and live today as if it were your last.

I love that line, 'live today as if it's your last'.. I'm trying to live with it in my desire to be happy. But undeniably, things come and go, everyday is a new experience and I just can't assure myself of how to face every piece of it.

hi jocruzy, I dont thing people live fulfilled life. Life is full of ups and downs and few of our desires are fulfilled but few remains unfulfilled. And if there are unfullfilled desires then I think person gets disappointed and which in return gives birth to new problems and conflicts. So, I think not everybody is living life satisfactorily and happily. Thats life dear.......

Yeah, but I do still hope that I will be one of those people to leave this earth with a remembrance of a fulfilled and happy life. Hope we can all live life without regrets though it would mean a lot of struggles.
