Imagine, one day you encounter Life on your way,
And it gives you the opportunity to answer your queries.
Giving wings to my imagination, this miracle happened when I met Life one day
I asked Life, Why are you so challenging, why can’t you be simple, stress-free?
Life answered because amid those challenges is the hidden golden opportunity for you, the pearls do not lie on the seashore if you want one, you must dive for it.
And those who deep dive in the challenges only extract pearls.
My next question for you Life is why do you not give us what we want, do we not deserve it?
Life smiled and answered because I intend to offer you more than you think you deserve.
So, the best things are meant for you happen to you, even if you realise this late.
Tell me one thing Life, why are you such a strict teacher, teaching us lessons in such a complicated manner?
Life paused and answered, You see, I have a funny way of teaching things; I create sadness in your life so you understand the importance of happiness, create challenges in your life so you discover your strengths, create turmoil for you to appreciate the peaceful time, I go hard on you to strengthen you because often strict teachers bring the best out of students.
Life, why cannot you be Perfect? I asked.
Because I am meant to be Beautiful, then being Perfect.
It is all about the journey travelled, right from making mistakes, learning from them, evolving yourself, it is about seizing every moment to make it a memorable one.
Focus on living the moments, rather than chasing perfection.
How do I define the best Life? I popped the next question.
Life smiled, as if saw this coming and answered how about you create your definition of it, make your Life a masterpiece for others to follow your footsteps.
You see, the thing with me is no matter how short I maybe I always go on, either you can bury yourself in yesterday broken pieces, or focus on creating something new today.
So, I suppose I should take your leave and hope I answered your questions and well stop analysing me so much and start living and creating memories.
Love more, regret less, touch the lives of others, smile more
