How is life treating you?

Tweet

A few days ago, I recieved a text messages from a friend who is in town of Los Angeles that read: "Hi Kheila! How is life treating you?" I texted her back saying everything's fine and that we must see each other soon. Later, as i scrolled through my phone's contact file, I saw the name of a friend in New Jersey whom I haven't heard from for sometimes. I decided to send him a how-are-you-doing text and without a meaning to be copycat, asked the very same "how is life treating you" query. After sending the text, I realized that the often used phrase "How is life treating you?" is such a lame question. The truth is that life is what you make of it by the second, by the minute, from day to day. Thus, the right and pro-active question is: "How are you treating life?" Most of us complain about how hard life is. We wake up to what we call the "daily grind," where we expect to be ground and grilled. Instead of whining and focusing on the negatives, we must be thankful that we are blessed with the chance to experience this ride that not everyone is lucky enough to endure and enjoy. How must we treat life? We must regard it with awe and gratefulness. We should celebrate it and at the same time, push ourselves to greatness. Life is not something that just comes to you; it is something you work for. Be careful about how you treat life because how you do is how it will treat you! Friends, can I ask you the same question. How you treat your life?
