Life begins at 40 is an old saying that is familiar to most people. But when does really life begins? For me, life begins at first heartbeat. The day we were born in this world is the day we begin to live. The moment we take our first breath is the moment we know we are alive. The moment we open our eyes is the moment we see life. God gave us life to nurture and experience all of the great things that earth can offer even it is just for temporary.

Life is beautiful. Our world and the people are beautiful. God gave us a planet that is full of life to continue living and survive. We have a sun that brightens up our day and a moon that gives us light at night. We have big skies that give color to our surroundings. We have rainbows and stars that make the sky even more colorful. We have plants and flowers that add beauty to our streets. We have plenty of animals and plants to take care of and eat. We have big oceans and fresh waters to swim and drink. We have family, friends, acquaintances, and love ones that make our life complete. Truly life is beautiful and is composed of beautiful things. We just have to enjoy and take good care of it to not lose it all. 

Life is not always about rainbows and butterflies. It also includes heavy downpour of rain and storms. In life, we will encounter difficulties, problems and challenges.We will experience pain, heartbreaks, accidents, embarrassing moments, failures, sufferings, downfalls, and the most painful of it all, death. Difficulties test the courage, patience, determination, and true character of a human being. There is no human being on earth that has not experienced it all.  We may be full of worries but we still need to manage to smile. Learn to face hard times with valor. There is no gain without pain. Let your pain be bearable by being hopeful. Let the beauty of life inspires you to survive all the pain that life gives you.

Life is a mix of success and failure, joy and sorrow. Life is a challenge. And for anyone to survive, he must be ready to sacrifice. We all go through ups and downs because that is how life works. The world needs to be balanced. We need to experience failure to achieve success. We need to experience and overcome pain to mature and find an everlasting love. We should lose to learn. We must cry to smile more. We must be broken to become stronger. And we must be defeated to become a winner. Experience is the best teacher. If we get to experience more of life, we get to appreciate life more. Everything that happens in our life has its reasons. We just need to figure it all out slowly because timing is necessary.

Life is to be enjoyed. To be alive is a celebration. We celebrate our birthdays because we are happy to continue our days of being alive and to be still with people that matters in our life. Do not miss great things in life. Smile and laugh more. Spend and travel around the world if you can. Go out and party with friends. Wear clothes and things you like. Confess your feelings to someone you like. Give and share your blessings to those who have less. Learn to help and volunteer in small events. Be a good friend. Make wishes and send prayers to people who need it. Explore and discover new things. Take lots of pictures and make good memories. Express yourself and show who you really are. Be confidently beautiful with a heart. Be kind and have courage. Let go of things not worth staying. Become a responsible, good abiding citizen and a good role model to kids. Meet different kinds of people and make connections. Taste all the great foods people can offer. Embrace your flaws; love your curves and all your edges. Dance and sing your heart out. Love people with all your heart. Dream impossible dreams and make them to reality. Nothing is impossible in life if you just believe.  Do not be afraid to be judged. If it what makes you happy, then go for it. Life is too short to have regrets. Life also has its ends. We know that life is temporary so that is why we must live like it is the last time.

To sum up, life is wonderful, marvelous, and splendid. If you are going through something very painful now, do not give up. Time heals all wounds. So just simply enjoy life. Do not just exist. Learn to live.
I am ending it here. Goodbye and hope you had fun reading! XoXo
