Everyone likes a gift. Many people want to get it. But what I will tell you right now is more than what we want. It’s a gift that only given once on this earth.

What is it?

It is our LIFE.

Whatever we get usually depends on what we want. But, our life is not because of what we want, right?

It is given.

If our life is a gift, we have to use it as well as possible. We should say thanks to God for this beautiful life, every minute, every time.

I define beautiful here as a colorful ink. There are red, green, blue, black, white, etc. We can make a beautiful painting if we combine the colors together. Even black and white color is unique. Colors are like an analogy of life. The beautiful life.

Now I know that happiness and sadness is just an object. Those have many perspectives. The meaning of it depends on what we perceive. We learn something from happiness as a bright color. We learn something from sadness like dark color. So, this life is fair. We get both of them.

I don’t know about your condition right now. Don’t be sad if you are in a bad condition. I also have experienced many bad conditions in my life. But I dare say that life is still beautiful. I don’t want to blame my life condition anymore. Tony Robbins once said,

“Life is a gift, and it offers us a privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.”

When you are happy, it’s your time to do something more, give more, learn more. Then, be grateful.

When you are sad, it’s your time to wake up, get up and embrace life as what it goes. Then, be patient.

Don’t let sadness throw you away from reality, my friend. Because sadness itself is a gift. We can’t predict the content of a gift. However, it is meaningful.

So … Do you want a gift?

You have got it: YOUR LIFE.
