Life is complex – there are many things we juggle with every day. Yet life is simple – fresh air, love, meditation and smiling are all simple and free.
Life is happy – a random act of kindness can bring you joy and happiness. Yet life can be sad – pick up any newspaper and you will be greeted with lots of sad stories.
Life is short – even living for 100 years is a short passage in eternity. Yet life is long – everyday we have 86,400 seconds.
Life is giving – everyday we get an opportunity to give to a spouse or a partner, children, parents, friends and strangers. Life is also taking – we need others in almost everything we do.
Life is healthy – exercising, good nutrition, positive thinking. Life is also unhealthy – fast food, temptation, pollution, negative stress.
Life is material – we are surrounded everywhere by materiality and external gratification. Yet life is spiritual – upon reflection we realize that at the end of the day, only our good deeds and our soul remain forever.
Life is a balance between all these scenarios.
Savour the moment and cherish the ride, because that is the only certainty we have.
