Life is how we make it.

 

What we have become, has been the person that we have been in the past. Some blame it with destiny, some with misfortunes and some just reluctantly crosses the bridges of their lives.

 

No one knows, what life would offer him in the future. But undeniably, the things that we are doing today will reflect on our succeeding lives. A college student who works on his studies well and achieves academic excellence would have greater edge against those who are uneducated. There is a brighter path being paved for his future because of the qualifications that he has been banking early on his life. However, life surprises us with things and shortcomings that are unexpected. Suddenly, this achiever has faced bewildering obstacles of some sort and in just a jiffy all of the credentials that he had reserved will be put to nothing. Unexpected events such as accidents, takes away all of our chances for the future, in fact, most often, it takes away our chance to LIVE. And without life, no one could strike on the opportunities that are being brought to the table neither could a lifeless person engage into a mortal’s way of dealing with life. As one stops to breath, everything that he sets for the future die down. All the ambitions, outlooks, hardships and everything that he has thought about what his life ought to be, will be brought along with his deceased body beneath the earth’s core. Beyond that, no one would know what you want your life to be. And that’s for those who live through misfortunes.

 

On the other hand, some people would merely depend on destiny, that if one thing is never meant to become, then it will never be, no matter how hard one tries to achieve it. Fate, is unexplainable, no one knows why and how it happens. But sometimes, some persons try to relate it with coincidence. But how is COINCIDENCE different from FATE? Personally, I’d say it’s merely COINCIDENCE when it just happened once or twice and that things can be explainable. While FATE, knocks us off of our feet and we will be relentlessly submitted to a period of uncertainties. So when one says, maybe its destiny? Then unexpectedly that thing had happened. For some, let’s live it to our destiny. Then they are just merely waiting for the apple to fall down the apple tree. Personally, waiting for destiny can be dull; it reduces one person’s capability to nothing. We are given the ability to try things that can bring us to where we want to be, rather than dithering on the raw opportunities we’ve been given, we must try to reach for the apple because freshly picked apples are much sweeter than those grubby and over-ripped apples that have fallen on the ground. Life is sweeter when we have exerted some efforts than merely hitching on to some other people’s luck.  

 

Lastly, life is life. No one knows what our future will bring us. The only thing that is certain is that, for as long as one is still breathing, then he still has the chance to improve his own existence.
