Every day is a Gift That Life Pays Us
In response to Prompt 39 of 52 Embracing The Gift of Existence
"Life, like a generous host, offers us a banquet of experiences, opportunities, and lessons. It fills our plates with joy, love, growth, and adventure, inviting us to savor every morsel and nourish our souls. Let us embrace the abundance it bestows upon us and be grateful for the feast that is life." -Unknown
When I think about life, I always wonder why we all get stuck in the circle of life in which we all have to work and have to pay bills. When I first entered adulthood, I felt like life was a circle of working, eating, and paying the bills. At that point, it was hard for me to find other aspects of adulthood other than working and paying the bills. Maybe it was due to the greater responsibility I had to face compared to when I was younger.
As an adult, I was facing challenges in different areas of life, such as financial pressure, career and work demand, decision-making, balancing multiple roles, and changes and transitions. All of the challenges made life difficult for me, and I felt like life was just about eating, paying bills, and working. There is nothing better than this.
However, as I explored my life more, I came to realize that life is more than that. While eating, working, and paying the bills are important aspects of life, it is an oversimplification to say that life is solely about these activities. Life has so much to offer us, from emotions to experiences. It is essential to recognize and embrace the various aspects of life.
If you ask me that, Do you pay for life? Or does life pay you?
I would say that every day is a new day that gives us a new life. Life gives us so much that we are not able to pay it back. Life pays us in the form of experiences, lessons, and opportunities for growth. Life has so much to offer, and even when life gives us troubles and difficulties, it also helps in the formation of our strong characters.
Life gives us moments to enjoy, whether joyful or challenging, which contributes to our personal development and understanding of the world. In this sense, life itself becomes the reward, and the payment is the wisdom, insights, and memories we gain along the way.
So be grateful that you have a life to live. Enjoy every moment of it.
