Thought #9

Life

Life is energy

Life is consciousness

Life is to see, to smell, to hear, to touch, to taste, to think

Life is joy

Life is hope

Life is evolution and change

Life can be sadness

Life can be war and bloodshed,

Lies and dead

Life can be total destruction

Mushrooming without control

Just like an atomic bomb

It is our choice

To thrive in love and wisdom

Or to die crushed by an atomic bomb and war.

Life is silence

Life is light, the beauty of nature with its mountains and the clear blue sky

Life is water

Present in our streams, lakes, and vast oceans

Life is full of endless possibilities

Positive or negative

Good or bad

Happy or tragic

The possible outcomes depend on us

Be responsible in life, have high hopes and aspirations

Set goals for yourself and be constant and determined to accomplish them

Regardless of what they may be

Always try, aim for the best,

But if you ever fail,

Never give up, remain undefeated

If you lose hope,

You may lose everything

Even your own life.

Give love to receive love

Because life is love

Flowers grow with a bit of love.

Life is peace

Life is respect and understanding.

Life is hope.

What is life to you?

Do not wonder or dream about a possible future,
I warn you, you may get lost.

Your past is gone, it is unchangeable, and it is now part of who you are

In this very moment I invite you to

Listen to your breath, inhale and exhale,

Touch your chest, feel your heart beat

You are alive.

Forget about your past for a moment

Let the wind blow it away from your mind

But never forget who you are because

I warn you, you may get lost

In the road of life.

Recalling the past in our minds may revive nostalgic events of our lives.

Let’s live the present, this very moment is now ours,

But do not be selfish; engage with others in your life

Before you know it, most of life is gone

But do not let it be gone

Life is precious; learn to value it before you die.

Life is to learn to have true love in our hearts, and to share that same love with others

Life gives us the opportunity to live innumerable experiences under

Innumerable circumstances

Life means to learn from our mistakes,

Do not let anyone take your life away from you

It is only one.

What have you learned from life?

I am all ears.

What is life?

Smile.
