Essay on Life

Life greets me- Hello lovely! You have me; use me wisely and don't forget to add something spectacular to it.

I say to Life- Yeah!! I've already planned how I'm going to live, and I've even dreamed about it!

'Life’, such a small word to describe the vastness of its meaning. We feel as though we have done nothing that we desired since the day we were born. We've been doing all of the general things that our elders taught us. I'm not talking about education, career, job, marriage, or retirement; these are also the same processes that we have learnt from our elders, but I'm talking about the mundane tasks we all do - getting up, getting ready, running to school, college, office etc.


You might be wondering

what else one is supposed to do?

This is a question in and of itself: Have you ever considered why you are doing something or are you simply going with the flow?

Relax, take a break, consider whether you are enjoying yourself, and you will discover WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT FROM LIFE.

The process of reinvention frequently begins with dissatisfaction. You have a sense that something is wrong in your life, but you're not quite sure what it is.


The first step is to look inward, identifying your true self and the path that will lead you to your ideal life. I believe that everyone has a purpose in life. However, discovering your life's purpose isn't always an easy task. You must first learn how to identify what you are.

Think of those who don't even have the resources to lead a life functioning on the bare minimum, think of those who are specially abled whenever you are feeling down and feel like you have multiple problems while others are living life quite comfortably and achieving success easily. When you see those people, you'll notice that no matter what they're going through, they always wear a smile on their face.



Recently, I learned about one of my teacher’s college friends who couldn't speak and listen. My teacher felt sorry for him and wondered how he would live the rest of his life, but that friend never cared for his disabilities and saw himself as equal to other “normal” humans. Today, he is successful enough to be an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahemdabad (IIM-A) and has met personalities such as Amit Shah, Ramnath kovind, and others.

Understanding and realising that you have far more control over your life than you may believe is not only reassuring, but also empowering. The way you think determines how you feel and serves as an engine for the happiness you experience. The calibre of your thinking determines the calibre of your life.


Did you know that you have thousands of thoughts per day?

I had a thought the other day.

That thought evolved into an emotion.

That emotion became words, and the words fueled action, which became a habit.

My habits define my character, and my character determines my fate.

As a result, I'll think on my thoughts a little more today.



Dedication, devotion to the task and positive thinking with determination have been the important factors of success of every successful person. Life is about selecting unpredictable cards, turning them around, and still coming out on top. You may not be born into wealth, and you may not be spoon-fed success and fame, but you can always believe in yourself and make it big in life.

Here are a few examples of people who have dragged themselves out of their tough lives by following their passion and listening to their heart:


Boman Irani worked as a waiter, room service staff and even an assistant in his mother's bakery before becoming one of the busiest actors in Bollywood today.


Purna Malavath is the youngest girl to climb Mt. Everest. She was born to a Dalit family in Nizamabad (Telangana). Purna fought societal stigma and humble surroundings to train herself to scale the tallest peak in the world: Mt. Everest. All of 13, Purna had the support of veteran mountain climber Bachendri Pal.


I am sure that the reader understands now that

"Problems are just a part of life and not our life"


Deal with it and never give up!

And if you fear what society will think then let me tell you that society has never been the part of your journey and it was never there while you needed its support. It was your parents, family and friends who worried about you, who cheered you up in your low times. So only they should matter to you and not society.

Live and let live should be the motto of everyone's life .Be the real you, think good, help others and keep hustling!
