life is a gift, that is why today is called a "present". i live life day by day and try to make the most of it. i dont mope and what is past for there is nothing i can do with it. nor do i try to be what is not yet in my hands. a large portion of my life is a struggle .. but that is what defines who is "gold" or "diamond" and one who just get burnt. feed gold into fire and it loses its impurities and comes out shining. same with diamonds. with all the pressure and heat, it comes out more precious. problems will always be there, but that is only proof that you are alive. ride the tide and be on top. never allow yourself to be crushed by the waves and sink. everyday is worth every moment of it. life is not a journey to an end but how you spent each moment of the trip.
