The Art of Living

"When you learn to let go, better things come by your path. Life is a risk worth taking."

Someone told me that, "life is about living according to yourself, and not to serve others". Indeed, it is. The thing we often get into is, living according to how people want us to be. But life isn't all about that. Life, isn't finding yourself; but exploring and creating a whole new you.

I used to be opinionated to the thought of others. But being daring to challenge yourself to the things thought impossible maybe the best chances to start living.

In life, there are moments we all fall. We need hands to pick us up. We tend not to let go of the things we once loved. Little do we realize that living in the shadows of the past can devour our very living souls.

Life is ahead and way front, I know that now. Letting go and having to move on brings us to a higher level of understanding within our inner self. We often look back, so much so that we tend to neglect the things found right before our very eyes.

I've learnt that ceasing life at its very moments are what matters most. The past can only be relived as memories, but unchangeable; thus, leaving us with only one option - To live in the present and make changes for our future.

At times, we think our heart has stopped beating or that life has stopped. In contrary to that, we do not note that although we give up on our own lives; as long as we're still breathing, life hasn't given up on us. It took me long enough to learn that. As long as breath hasn't left your soul, there's another chance that you're still alive and a better chance for tomorrow.

Exceptionally, there are moments where we still breathe, but your heart feels dead. Don't give up, cause there's always something better installed for each and every unique individuals of us. Hearts can bleed; but they can heal too given time and the right people. You never know, that one day, that heart of yours may find the reason to beat again, and perhaps stronger than it previously did before.

All I know is that people who have been through rough patches, given one condition that they persevere and not give up with life; you definitely grow stronger each day.

Behind every raindrop is a rainbow. Yes, the rain does come, but soon enough, the gloom will be over and you'll find that rainbow you've been looking for.

Never give up and keep moving on. I know this one thing: when you let go and take certain risks, or rise up to the unexpected; if you succeed, life will be even more meaningful than pondering in the past. Give yourself a chance and start living!
