Acknowledge the unpredictability of life. Life can’t be controlled; we can only manage it in the best possible way. Never take things for granted. When you are happy, enjoy each and every bit of it while it lasts. And when you are down with nowhere to go, just hang on. Time is something that always keeps changing, and it will change whether you want it to or not. Always remember what you want from life and never alter your aspirations with changing circumstances, or else you will be running around your entire life and end up with nothing. Opportunities will come your way, they always do; you need to be prepared for them. A confused mind will never let you do that, but a clear and focused mind will. However, when life starts playing its tricks on us, we often tend to lose the plot. Stay focused, be patient, accept reality, remain hopeful and be prepared to lose, as you just can’t win unless life wants you to. And if you are one of those lucky ones, make sure you make the most and enjoy each and every bit of it.
