Life is about enjoying the best and striving through the worst.
Move on
You get a chance to live every day. You can always start over.
But death is absolute. You die once and then everything goes away.
Living
People worry too much about what’s going to happen, rather than what’s happening right now.
It means that, we worry about the future that is beyond our control, rather than focusing on the present that we can control to some extent.
If we stress about things we can’t deal with, it is obvious that we will never find a way out.
Don’t be anxious about the consequences. They are beyond your control. Live in the present while you can. And let it unravel the way you want. And you may never know, the present may lead you to the future you desire.
Upgrade
There’s no constant self. We restructure ourselves every second on the path of life. Just try your best to throw in the best material for better self every time.
Journey
Having talent or not is equivalent to having or not having privileges.
Everyone’s born with a certain level of capacity and facility. The privileged (both in talent and resources) have an edge or headstart to what comes ahead in life. The talent and resources not put to use will perish away.
The under previleged are at disadvantage compared to the the privileged. But that doesn’t mean they have no right to become privileged through hard work. That’s how all the rags to riches stories go.
Whatever you’re born with is impermanent. It can be improved upon further with planning and practice or get lost within a blink of an eye.
The situation may not seem favourable to the disadvantaged group. But think. Those who lack resources have more room to explore and learn. Surely having resources at hand saves time. But not having them makes you struggle and that struggle makes you resilient.
To sum it up, though the destination is similar for everyone, the paths taken are diverse. Are you the kind of person who prefers to enjoy the journey or taste the victory of reaching the goal?
Fulfil
Living a life with no regrets is the end goal.
Peak
You can’t do everything in your lifetime.
But you can accomplish a lot by doing little things every day.
You won’t feel like you have done much in a day, but when you look back you’ll see you have been climbing up all along.
Share
The long-term negative outcome (dramatic changes in the climate) is far away in the future. The individual benefits are occurring right now (such as driving to work alone in one’s own car). Thus making it difficult to see how many costs there really are.
Similarly, short-term costs of a behaviour lead individuals to avoid performing it, and this may prevent the long term benefits that would have occurred if the behaviours had been performed. For instance, cooking at home has short-term time and energy costs, but at least you avoid the long-term monetary and health costs associated with eating outside.
It is easy to assume that you won’t live long enough to witness the end of the world.
It is easy to assume that you live only once, making it acceptable to go all out while you still can.
But is it right to assume and do whatever you want in your time and leave nothing for the future?
Grateful
Why people are hell bent on finding life in outerspace when they can’t even appreciate its beauty right here.
You can only appreciate something out there, when you appreciate it in you.
Struggle
Not struggling in life is like stifling your desire to live.
You will survive but you will not live.
