While browsing old pictures, I came across this photo - a meaningful one to me… Memories came rushing back. It’s been a year since I took picture of the above signboard while walking on the picturesque streets of Conway, NH (a popular destination for mountain climbers). When I saw it, my initial reaction was: “Oh yeah? Life is good?”. Yes folks, it is a reaction filled with doubts (and sarcasm). But lo and behold, that simple sign made me think about the bliss life offers to all of us. It made me evaluate deeper my attitude towards life, and I finally realized (after so many years…lol) that life is indeed good even when we are confronted with a myriad of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Funny as it may but the above sign eventually served as a personal mantra to live life as it is, to be appreciative and not be stonecold, to be grateful of every blessing that comes along and share them… Life after all can only get better, never bitter.
It is sad to note however that many spend their lifetime searching for the good life and yet failed. It only brought misery to them… So, what makes life good? Having a wonderful family? Having a huge-figure income? Having tons of honorific titles? Having many friends? Becoming a celebrity? Or maybe, just being confident of who we are... Most often, a humble acceptance of who we are makes life good and super special.
