A wise man was once asked, “What is the meaning of life?” He replied…, “Life itself has no meaning. Life is an opportunity to create meaning.”
You’ve got to define life according to your own terms. And as you define that meaning for you, always remember life is exactly what you make it.
Life is dull only to dull people
Life doesn’t have to be gloomy, uncertain, unsatisfying, and draining. Life is exactly what you make it, it can be fun, an adventure, satisfying and a real joy once you adopt the right attitude and decide to make it exactly how you like it.
Personally, am big on positivity, positive vibes and fulfilment and honestly once I started to look at the world in a broad way, I realized there are so many opportunities to be happy, make a difference and attain a wonderful future worth looking forward to.
Life is dull only to dull people, life is interesting only to interesting people and life is successful only to successful people. Your circumstances don’t have to first be favourable, you need to make the most of them first and then they will become favourable, it’s not the other way round.
If you’re waiting for your life to first get better before you can choose to be happy, then you may be unhappy all your life. Life doesn’t change unless we do.
Life is always changing, there are gonna be good days and there gonna be some really bad days too. But that’s just how it is and there is nothing we can do about it, so why not make the most of it?
Life turns out the best for the people who make the best of how life turns out.
When life is good, say thank you and celebrate.
And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow.
It is easy to be grateful when life is going all fine and smooth. The real test of our faith comes most when we are in hardship. On those days when we worry ourselves so much and sometimes even cry ourselves to sleep.
All we have to do is keep pushing, the good days will come around again. They always do. You just have to hang in there.
When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot on it and hang on.
Franklin D Roosevelt
This journey is about working to blow your own mind.
Your only fear in life should be never giving yourself the chance to become the best you could possibly be.
Do not let the fear of failure keep you from going after so many things you could have gotten otherwise.
How will you ever know what you could accomplish if you even never try?
Don’t set out to make other people proud of you, be proud of yourself first and they will have no option but to be proud of you when you make it.
Don’t let fear keep you from stepping forward to your destiny. The life you have envisioned for yourself is on the other side of fear, laziness and negative talk and NO ONE BUT YOURSELF CAN GET IT FOR YOU.
And always remember, You are not behind in life, and you are not too early. You are exactly where you are supposed to be.
There’s no timetable that we all must follow. It’s all just made up. 7 billion people can’t do everything in the same order. You don’t owe it to society to live your life a certain way.
Live for you.
WHAT’S EARLY?
WHAT’S LATE?
BECAUSE OF WHAT?
COMPARED TO WHO?
Don’t beat yourself up for where you are at in life.
You move at your own schedule and everything is right on time.
Don’t feel pressured to live like everyone else is living or do your stuff like everyone is doing.
There is a reason YOU are YOU, not them. We all have different stories, different journeys and different destinations.
Your journey is yours to travel. It’s okay if no one else understands your journey.
Create your own life.
Your dominant thoughts will manifest as your life.
If you are always thinking of abundance, it will manifest in your life. If all you see is a half-empty glass, it can’t help but get empty. Once you start practising positive thinking and getting emotionally involved, you will start to see results.
It’s only a question of time as to when the results you desire will appear but they will surely do. Just keep going and don’t give up until you get that which you desire. Remember everything has a gestation period for manifestation and coming to life. A seed may germinate in 3 days, and be fully grown in 3 months, a human baby will take 9 months to be fully formed.
Different things take different periods, never forget that. That will keep you going on days when you feel you can’t do it anymore.
Once you begin to see the glass as half-full, it will soon start filling. But if half-empty is all you see, soon it will be empty.
It’s all a matter of perspective. You can choose to see an imperfect world with so much damage or you can choose to see a beautiful world with imperfections, a world where you can make a difference.
This table shows life through the eyes of two characters; an optimistic person and a pessimistic.
| Gratitude for the little one has | Too little to be grateful for |
| Blessings in disguise | Curses |
| Opportunities to exploit | Challenges to face |
| Adventures to explore | Mountains to climb |
| Love to share | Hatred that weighs us down |
| Answers to find | Questions to bother us |
Your life will be what you create it as. Understand these universal laws and use them to your advantage.
And once you understand them, the sky is the limit to what beauty you can manifest!
Believe and your belief will create the fact. Don’t overthink how it will happen. Don’t worry about when it will happen. Just believe it and your belief will create it.
One thing to always remember when life gets you down is that life is like a book, you can’t skip chapters, that’s not how it works. You have to read every word, line and sentence and meet every character. You won’t necessarily like or enjoy all of it.
One thing is sure, some chapters will make you cry on end for weeks. You will read things you don’t want to read and there will also be moments so beautiful that you don’t want the pages to end. But you have to keep reading, you’ve got to keep going.
Stories keep the world revolving. Live yours, don’t let yourself miss it.

Life is all about doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Life never leaves you empty. It always replaces everything you have lost. If it takes away, it’s only to give something better.

This world is big, big enough for each one of us. The only limits to what you can accomplish lie in your mind.
You deserve better. Be him. Be her.
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is a beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, don’t destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
