Life: During the down days

Ashley D. Mwanza

DURING the down days, if you choose to keep in mind that you probably have more chances than others, more things to be thankful for than others, and more time to live on this Earth than others, you'd be reminded that your life is indeed very precious.

You are a special being and you are here with a path to travel. There are many people who are grateful for you and you might not realize that. Life needs you and that's because life has given you a path that only you can travel, and not anyone else.

Life is really short and instead of being burdened by the heavy "shoulds" and "could have beens", perhaps it's really time to get up and have the courage to face your mistakes, obstacles and troubles, and travel lighter for the rest of your life. Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around. Remember that "our difficulties or problems are not obstacles to the path; they are the path itself."

Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. In all things be grateful.
