Life is what you make of it

And yes i am back again after a break. 

I am a strong advocate of the belief that 'life is what you make of it'. Again none of this aims to disprove or prove the existence of God. But our reactions to situations and circumstances is within our control. And hence the ability to change the situation. 

Very debatable I am sure. But I believe that especially in times when one normally tends to mope or be sad, it is up you to lift yourself out of that feeling. 

While you feel that you deserve sympathy and empathy, it is up to you not to resort to things like going on binges or taking to smoking or drinking in the hope that it will help drown your sorrows. That would only compound the problem and make things worse. What is needed is a clear mind and not a mind with a judgement that would be clouded by such things. 

Lift yourself up from your misery and realise that life is but for you to make what you want of it. All the best to one and all.
