LIFE is not great all the time. The more we live the more we get exposed to new things, the more we gain experience.Most of the time life becomes so horrible that you feel, "Why me!" but it's not only you or your friend, Problems are general to anyone throughout the cycle of existence. Why regret, why be sad? We live a short life and we got to live it to the best!
There have been many ups and downs in my life as well! You become really Happy :-) when you achieve something but then you forget the number of times you were sad :-( in order to achieve it! Remember if there is no pain there is no gain. As humans we have an analytical thinking power. We can identify what is right and what is wrong, why we are sad and what made us sad. Learn from your mistakes and what is important is not avoiding doing mistakes or being afraid to face the consequences, but learning and correcting yourself from it. The more we make mistakes the more we learn. REMEMBER NOBODY IS PERFECT. But always try to be perfect, try to be the best person in this world. Make it your VISION and try to stick to it. No one can be perfect, but what matters is if one can be the best and can be loved by all I guess it is perfection.
There are times we got to sacrifice certain things in life. Validate the scarification and if the outcome is worth, do it and never regret. You can always make it back to what you sacrificed. But remember never sacrifice someone else for your own benefit. Remember to empathize; put yourself in the other persons shoes and you will realize how you would feel at the same situation. I'm telling you through experience. You can avoid lot of arguments. (Of course I still get in to very bad tempers at times) Love everyone who is around you, try to trust people, but keep in mind that what you see in a person is not what he/she actually is. You may get hurt by trusting someone but it's better to trust than not.
Forgive someone who has done something wrong if he/she apologizes. You have to admire the person understanding his/her mistake and you got to give him/her a chance to correct himself/herself.
Always try to be happy even when you are supposed to be sad. Think of what you have and not of what you don't have! It makes Life a difference. Never compare yourself with someone and wonder "Why can't I be like him/her?" or don't let anyone to say "Try to be like him/her". You can accept it only if what the person is saying to correct you but when it comes to talent and ability remember you are you and you can do what you are born to do, not to do what others do.
When you are sad or feel bad, tell it to someone you trust. Or else write it on your diary/note book or at least type an sms/email about it and don't send it if you don't want. Never fear to cry, everyone in this world does. Forget your bad past, never go after it, just think of today and tomorrow.
Trust your parents more than anyone. They brought you up and suffered a lot for you. Have you ever found anyone who has sacrificed their lives for you as much as your parents. Think about it. Do not betray them. When you do something always think whether they would like you doing it. Take care of them whenever you can! Express your love to them. Give a hug to your mother, give a hug to your father it means a lot to them. Remember someday you would be in the same position.
With that I shall stop about LIFE! I have just written an atom on Life. I know that I'm not the perfect and that I write only what I think. Reading it, following it, is your decision. I wouldn't force anyone. I have not lived a long time in this world. But it is what I have realized and what I believe. May all your dreams come true! No matter who you are I will always be happy to help you to the best I can. Please do feel to contact me if you need to talk to someone you can trust. You can trust me! You can count on me. Take care and I wish you all the very best in your LIFE! -Yasas Gunaratne
