Irony of Life

Life can be taken, Life can be born. Either way around, it is inevitable.
You may grief forever of your lost or celebrate life with a new beginning.
Every morning is a different day. You meet people along the way.
Some you know, some barely and some not at all..

You take chances for a dream that would come true.
A will of fortune, a brand new life, a good job.
Wishing for betterment of all.
A better boss, a better spouse, a better friend, a better one.
But have you ever thought that to be better we have to be in our worst?

Irony of life. You are pushed to your limit to to know where you stand.
You quit or fight? At the end it is still in you, how well did you juggle life.

Life can't be planned accordingly, it always end up unexpectedly.
Everything is uncertain, always expect the unexpected.

Stop complaining on things you don't have and wishing for some you want.
You can't have everything. Besides you don't even need it.
Always try to be content with what you have.

At the end of the day be thankful, be still.
Not quite as you thought it would be but don't worry.
Tomorrow is another day to look forward for.
A chance for a new savvy day.

Life is not how long you live but how you live life..
