Life is only as beautiful as you want it to be

Life is beautiful, I love life and enjoy every minute of it. That doesn't mean that I don't feel sad or worried about things. It only means that I know how to control my emotions and be in charge of my life. Learning to make the best of what you have , being grateful for what you have, seeing the sunny side of this is all about our attitude. Life is a series of choices we make, they may seem like tiny ones but they are what make the basic fabric of our life. We can choose to paint dark scenes or bright sunny scenes, its up to us and how we approach life. Nothing is perfect, so don't expect life to be perfect. Accept it with its flaws and bad sides.

@Lavanya15 We don't need to control our emotions but be in control of them. A slight difference but a huge impact.

Yes. It's about the choices we make. We can grow from something or we can get affected negatively.

I am glad you see it that way. Yes we can use everything for our growth or for our downfall.

that is the most amazing picture - nothing is perfect, but our drive for perfection sometimes leads us astray!

Thanks Doc, So true. Wanting everything/everyone to be perfect in life is the first step to disaster.

@sofssu the fastest way to frustration is striving for the perfection of others

Good way of looking at life! We have to accept that not every day is going to be a sunny day. We also have to deal with some storms. We don't know how long this life or the life of those we love will be, but no matter what life is a beautiful gift.
