A Journey called Life...

Life is a very simple but complicated word, everyone knows the meaning of it but it is very difficult to describe it. There are various theories doing the rounds regarding life, but all have their own definition and none point to a similar definition. So during the course of this article i will try to put in my interpretation of the word 'Life'.

Life may be attributed to human existence and one's personal life. It is a gift given to us by the almighty, it is a beautiful thing that comes our way only in a very long period of time. It is a honour and is a prize for the good deeds that we have done at any point of time. Life is a reality imposed upon us by the Nature. It is often understood as the cycle of birth-growth-death, but in reality it is much much more. Life can be defined as a characteristic state or mode of living; "social life"; "city life"; "real life". . Earth is the only planet in the universe that has life and there are various theories regarding the origin and evolution of life on Earth. But Life as per my understanding could be described as the journey that every person in this world has to undergo, it is a phased activity that takes place throughout the life of an individual.

Life to me is the entire path that a person follows from the day of his birth till the day he bids adieu to this beautiful world. When a person is born he starts his life, then his deeds decide his fate and the activities that he performs constitutes to the journey which has been aptly christened as 'Life'. Each and every step that a person takes no matter how big or small it is constitutes his life. We are the architect of our own lives, we have the power to live life as we want to. We are the one who make it good or bad, it is totally our decision. Society and surroundings do also play their part in defining a man's lie but their say is limited. They just act as a catalyst and their role is pretty defined. I agree with Paulo Coelho 'Maktub....its written' in The Alchemist but i also believe that if we just sit and try to face what is written, the writing seems to be dirty. If we make a bit of effort and try to add to what is already written we can definitely have a good life.

So Life is a gift of God, it is the most beautiful thing in this world. It is an template or a prototype on top of which we need to provide the definitions as per our requirement and understanding. Every body is same in the eyes of the Almighty, so he who makes the most effort, gets the most out of life and understands and enjoys the true life. In order to have a good life, it is compulsory to be very clear in your mind as to what exactly to need to do. Life is a journey, enjoy it and make the most of it, you never when this journey comes to an end. Let us make our lives so beautiful that even after we are gone people remember us and we live in their hearts. It is not an easy task to get into the heart of people, but with a little effort it doesn't seem too difficult as well.
