Ups and Downs in Life

Life is an elegant beauty like holding a rose but you must be careful of the thorns. Though it is full of ups and downs like a mountain it difficult to climb yet once your at the peak its beautiful.

To some people, life is hard, cruel and merciless. These set of people think and see life as a way of punishment throughout their entire lives. They therefore subdued themselves to fate, believing all is over. To those individuals, nothing that they do can ever be good. They take delight in committing crimes and leeching others to avenge their bad luck. They’ve become lost and misguided and most times, some of them go as far as committing suicide, just to escape the hard injustice life has shown to them.

But there are those individuals who see life as a challenge, a movie about discovery and innovation in life, a drive for success and a gateway to wealth. To them life is sweet, beautiful and motherly. No matter the situation these people find within themselves, they keep pressing on, convinced in a cause, a cause to flourish and get the most out of life. No wonder an adage says, “Where there is life, there is hope.”

The will to succeed or fail lies within an individual ambition to strive for greatness. You can live life to the fullest with utmost satisfaction and contentment if you determine with all your mind, body and soul to succeed. On the other hand, life can be very hard to you if you take everything for granted and be a slave to fate.

I believe setting goals and strategic plans that will strive no matter the odds which may move against you is one of the basic things needed to get the best out of life. These goals which must be result oriented, should be followed up no matter what even if things seem grey or unyielding at first.

Also, finally the mind is the center of everything. It controls your thoughts process and beliefs. A concentrated mind has never failed. A positive mind helps one to unlock and discover his talents and potentials. Great men and women, both living and dead, had their minds concentrated on an idea and nothing deterred them from achieving that dream. Each of them had a belief, which they held onto, they nurture the belief, focused all their attention and lives on it. And today, we have benefited in one way or the other from their inventions and great ideas .
