You're only here once...


sach hai yeh bas ek baar milti hai zindagi
karvatein badalti hai pal pal yeh zindagi
har pal ko gale se hainske lagaa le
pal pal mein chupi jo khushiyaan churaa le
You only live this life once...

I realized that, as hard as life might be sometimes, it's really what you make it out to be. We have the choice to drown in our sorrows, or we have the choice to embrace it and continue living with our heads held high.

Sometimes, things might feel as though they will never get better no matter how hard you try, or how hard you press on for a better tomorrow. I so often used to think of the lyrics by the music group Linkin Park..."I tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter. I had to fall, to lose it all. But in the end, it doesn't even matter." Once upon a time, I believed in those. I really did feel that it did not matter how hard you tried, there was no end in sight. But I realized, in the end, it is always happening for a reason. And it DOES matter...every single thing we do, every drop of effort we put into something, has some effect in the end. I believe it is up to us to take it for better, or for worse.

I don't know about you, but I certainly want to take it for better. Even if it feels like the whole world is against you, know that there is always at least one person out there who truly does care for who you are. Listen to that person. For some, it might be a parent. For some, it's a best friend. Others, a trusted teacher. Some, a boyfriend...girlfriend...husband...wife...soulmate. And for everyone (who chooses to believe so)...there is God.

We will never be left alone to fend for ourselves. Whether we realize it or not, in some form or another, we have someone who believes in us. We were placed on this earth for a reason.

Embrace life, the good and the bad. We have one chance to live the lives we are in now. For those who believe in reincarnation, you will never have the same life twice. For those who do not, you only have one chance. Either way, make the most of what is presented before you. I trust that you will find it to be an eye-opener, once you are able to open your heart and soul to everything that surrounds you...

chak de sarre gum...cast off your sorrows...

Tokkar masti ho...be cheerful even when you face an obstacle...

There is always...always...a better tomorrow...in some way or form...
