Stay Positive And Live Everyday Like it’s Your Last
In a world where disasters strike every day, we must stay positive. A. lifetime isn't forever, so don't waste it on thinking about the negatives. Instead, you should be thinking positive. Do you know what it means to live life to the fullest? It doesn't always mean completing your bucket-list. To me, it means showing empathy to others and seeing the goodness of people. Be humble. Be charitable.
No matter what life throws at you, you must stay positive. “Staying post allows individuals to enjoy life while rising to challenges." "You never know when you will be faced with the inevitable, so live everyday like it's your last.”
We also need to stay true to ourselves. When you’re true with yourself, you are completely honest with how you feel, what you desire, and how you show empathy and see the goodness of people. “Be true to yourself, and happy in your life." “By staying true and remaining united, we can change this world."
In my opinion, the "Live Life To The Fullest." paragraph was more effective for me because it was more of a personal reflection as compared to the "In A World Gone Weird It's Time To Stay Posi." paragraph, which was less light-hearted and was a world issue.
