“Smile. It’s the easiest and best thing you can do.”
Sometimes, we feel that we are here by mistake. We feel that nothing is going according to plan. But don’t worry, it happens to the best of us! I remember until very recently I used to care about everything- my exams, my family, my hobbies. But, one day I just woke up to realize that I do not have to worry about everything life throws at me! If I worry about everything, what will the others worry about? And then, I accepted the fact that being sad over the past is only going to make the future worse. So, I stopped worrying. I went with the flow. And the results were amazing! No more bad grades, no more sitting by myself, and no more procrastination! And that, is what I suggest you all should do too!
Just think about it, the chances of each and every one of us being born is about one in 400 trillion! Life is more than just waking up, studying, eating, sleeping, and doing repetitive tasks. Life is an adventure! Think of it as a long bridge we have to cross with numerous obstacles blocking our path. The easiest thing we can do is meditate, reflect on ourself, and think about ourself- What do we really like that is not forced on us? What do we really want that is not given to us? What can we achieve and what can we not? Keep asking yourself these questions and keep trying new things. Eventually, we will find a hobby and a goal that will last us a lifetime! Go out and discover the world, go on adventures, life is not to be spent indoors! Be happy, because we only have an average of 60 years on earth. Before we know it, we will be old, grumpy, and too tired to do anything! Everything in life happens for a reason, and us being sad over it will make almost no difference. So, accept everything happily, and move on.
You all only live once, so do not waste it on small worries. Live life to the fullest, make new friends, discover yourselves, be fearless, smile, chill, and see all of us live another day! The most-fitting Nelson Mandela quote to conclude would be “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it”.
