Life

The essay called "Life"

What exactly does life mean to you? As you read this piece please contemplate your answer to this question.

Life is full of ups and downs. How do you deal with life when times get rough? Without the tough times, the good times would not be as meaningful. Accept life for what it is, and make the most out of everyday.

There is 24 hours in a day. How will you spend your day?

When life gets tough it can be hard to keep going. You know what though? You can get through anything you put your mind to! You may ask, but how will I get through this? There are many ways to to get through these tough times.

One way to get through these tough times or struggles in life is to find one positive thing in every situation. Finding a positive can help you see the problem easier, which will help you figure out how to deal with it. No matter how hard, identifying a positive can help you stay strong during this tough time.

A second way to get through tough times is to make sure you save a half hour to an hour for something you enjoy doing. Your happiness is important, so everyday make sure you do at least one thing that will make you happy. When you do something that makes you happy it will help you to asses the tough time clearly with an open mind. Doing this will also relax you, and it will most likely make the situation at least a little easier.

A third way to get through these tough times is to have at least one or two people that you can talk to. I know it can be hard to trust people, but try to have a few people you can tell anything to. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside is not healthy. If you haven't found two people you trust, at least try to have one. Having at least one person you can tell anything and everything to will give you a chance to vent, get advice, and extra comfort. Trust is something that is earned and not just given, so I know it takes time to trust someone. Have hope, everything will be okay!

There are so many ways to get through the difficult times in life. When life's got you down, find at least two or three things that will help you get through it best. No two people are the same. No one can do you better than you. You matter! Please try to stay strong. You can not have a rainbow without having sunshine and rain. It may be rainy now but it won't rain forever. The sun will soon shine!

There are seven days in a week. It is absolutely okay to have tough days! On difficult days though try to have hope. If you are having a tough day, I hope that tomorrow is a better day for you. Even if it's a tough day today, make the most out of the day. Tomorrow is not necessarily promised, and it's a mystery. Yesterday is now history. Live for today, no matter what you're going through!

This piece is coming to a close. Here are a few questions I want to leave you with. What exactly does life mean to you? Everyone leaves a mark or impact on the world. What mark will you leave? How do you want to be remembered? Please be positive, and make the most out of everyday! Try to smile, and live life to the fullest. Don't take life for granted.
