Life is worth living

Keep life simple, try to be happy, stay calm and remain patient in every situation

RAWALPINDI: Sometimes I wonder what is the meaning of life? Is that important to live life? What is the purpose of it?

I thought that those who had purpose in their lives are special and that it is easy for them to fulfil their purpose. I used to think that those who have no aim in life have no right to live because they are useless since there is no meaning to their life. But I was wrong.

God has created human beings and sent them on this earth for a reason. It depends on humans of the path they choose to find their purpose. Life may not always be great or always brings happiness. You sometimes have to face hardships. There are ups and downs in every person’s life. You might have thought there is no other way to get rid of your problems except for killing yourself. Is this really the solution? No. I think there is more to life than meets the eye.

You only live once so don’t waste your time on such thoughts because your destiny is in your hands. It is hard to make important decisions but it has to be done.

Try the new thing, set your goal and discover your life. Remember that no one will do it for you but only yourself. You are the only one to solve your own problems. God is looking over you but action is necessary.

God gave us the power to try. I believe that my life is worth living for plenty of reasons. Make sure your hopes belong only to God. He will never break your heart and always listen you.

Keep life simple, try to be happy, stay calm and remain patient in every situation. We can only struggle for what we want but we cannot control our fate. Don’t waste even a single moment of this precious gift of life.
