The Puzzle that is Life

Living in a word of uncertainty, one would ponder what life really is all about. Some suggest it is a bed of roses, some presume only those that are born with a silver spoon survive hurdles and others say “life is a survival of the fittest zone.”

In reality, life is full of ups and downs. It is a world of many angles, a coin of many sides and indeed an irony of nature. Life creates, molds, shapes and elevates a person to a height of diversity and complexity. Truly, life is a Pandora's Box of its own, which opens up a whole new atmosphere of uncertainty I had really thought I would have it all; live the way I want to, do things my way and be the best, call the shots, fix my mess or not and live life to the fullest. But like we all know, life happens. Truly, if wishes were horses beggars would ride. Life is not all I envisaged it to be but I have learnt and made lemonade when I need to because to be the best version of oneself, one has to be focused, determined and zeal-oriented.
