The song of my life

Your life story has ups, downs, twists and turns; and things are always changing. It is life’s variations that make living interesting. If everything stayed the same, then life would be boring.

You can liken life to a song: a mixture of high and low notes that blend to make the perfect symphony. The good times and bad times of your life are all part of the song. The question to ask is: Will I dance to it?

Will you be the one to accept your life and take responsibility for it? Will you live it, whether it is on a high or on a low? Will you embrace life’s variations and enjoy the music?

Answering these questions with a “yes” means that you have matured. It means that when you are going through good times, you will love your life; and when you are going through bad times, you will still love your life the same, if not more.

However, accepting your life doesn’t mean you should accede to life’s pressures. Accepting your life means staying in touch with reality and avoiding denial. A person in touch with reality is better positioned to change his fortunes, and to maintain his integrity.
