What is life?

What is life??? The question that i had been thinking of these days. What is life to me? What is life to you? Is your answer the same as mine? The answer to that question defer from everyone. What keeps me thinking about that question came from what someone wrote in a goodbye card. It wrote " wish you a better future. Earn lots of $$". When i 1st saw that message, i was thinking life isn't everything about $$. That thought had since been in head.

What is life? Is life about Money? Is life about living in big houses and drive big car? Is life about helping those who are less fortunate than you? Is life about making an impact on someone life? Everyone answer to this question defers from each another. While i was typing this blog, my good dear cousin who is in Denmark gave me her answer. To her life is about living as happy as you can, enjoying what you are doing and do not have any regret, that is life. Her definition of life is what every other had said or wanted but are they able to attain what they had said or wish for? Many had said and many had fail. While the answer to this question differentiate from one another, let me say about what is life to me.

Life to me is about changing someone life, making an impact on someone so on the day i draw my less breath, i can vividly recall what i had done to make someone life better. so on the day of my funeral, those that i had help and those i care for will remember me for what i am and how i had make a better life for them.

On one of the books that i had read, this one book make an impact on me. The title: "7 habits of highly effective person" is one book that i would recommend everyone to read and most importantly, learn what is being taught in it. on one of the habits, the opening paragraph say" imagine you are walking through a hall where everyone is weeping. at the end of the hall lies a coffin. Those who you had walk pass is weeping sadly. There are people from many different walks of life. These are the people who you had help and make an impact on them. They had come to give their last respect to the one in the coffin. As you walk to the coffin and look into it, you realise that the one who lies inside is you. How do you feel? Do you feel that you are love and respect? What is the one thing that you had done to make so many to come forward to say "thank you for making this cruel and cold world a better place to live in". What is the one thing that you had done to deserve all these love and respect. The answer is that you had make an impact on someone life.

It 3am in the middle of the night and the radio is playing song from the 80s and 90s. Most of it are love song while some are sad song. The mood that i am having now is different from the one i had before. After i realise that all the time i had been living in a body without a soul, i had decided to change the way i live. I will no say "NO" to everything that come in my way. Saying "NO" is as though saying no to opportunity that may come when i say "Yes". I may had made an impact on someone life if i had say "Yes". To say "Yes" is to live an life full of opportunity and hope and to say "No" is to live in a body without a soul. So the answer to what is life is to say "Yes" to Life!!!!!!! Say "Yes" and you will notice how it had change the way you live your life. Say "Yes" when someone approaches you to ask for help. Say "yes" when the newspaper are inviting volunteer to help those less fortunate than us.
