Life is not only about living, but it is also about living and being alive. Confusing isn't it? Allow me to elaborate. Living and being alive is living with a purpose. All people are living but not all of them are alive. So, it is not about staying alive and the need of the essential elements of life. It is more than that, we need to look at the bigger picture. For what are we living, is it for a person, waiting for something, for family, or other things? Whatever you are living for it definitely counts. Just don't forget one thing that we are in a quest, living for a purpose. It is okay to make mistakes and learn from them, it is okay to regret actions done in life and become a better person, just do good and good will come to you. Try to have toward others good intentions and never lie. Yes, this is life having manners and thinking of others because life is sharing. We are in a trial to do good and never sin, to pray and do our duty. Of course, we are not saints after all. We will make mistakes, life forces us to take reckless decisions in life, but we should always repent.
I, once, heard a story about a girl who used to do the sane thing every night before she goes to bed, she used to think of her actions during the day, she used to lecture herself and promise herself not to do it again. In case she did the same bad action like lying; she would punish herself by not allowing herself to read the same book or eating her favorite sweets. It actually worked, she did stop from doing her bad action. Imagine if everyone of us would do the same, the world would become a better place, people would treat each other in a good way, and we would live better.
Not everything we do will pass by unnoticed even our thoughts. We weren't created for no purpose, so we should live knowing that we should live accordingly. When we do good deeds, we will be rewarded. Similarly, when we do bad ones, we will be punished.
I wonder what do people think when they say that God doesn't exist. Well, I respect their opinion, I have several friends with different religions and they are all brothers and sisters, but what I am trying to say is that if I can't see my pain or see my feelings this doesn't mean that both don't exist. I can feel both, they do exist. God is every where, if you tried harder and believed with all your heart, then God will lead you to the right direction. He will guide you, so you have to try to believe. It is all about God. It is all journey, from God to God. It is a test to prove to God how much we are blessed to have him. We thank him for all that he gave us. We will never give up. We will fight for our beliefs. We will become stronger for Him. Only He gives us power to survive. So only have a leap of faith.
