The best things in life

Feb 04, 2022

Each of us owns so many things in our life. It is easy to forget how each of these things makes our life beautiful. Getting things is important, but enjoying them is the ultimate point.

The best things in life are free. The second-best things are very, very expensive.

I am grateful for my family and friends (who are practically also my family since I’ve known you for so long). The moments we share in this world are what make life truly colourful.

I am grateful for my colleagues and people with whom I’ve worked. I genuinely enjoy the work I do, especially if that makes someone else’s everyday better. You are the people who make it possible.

I am grateful for the unique experience that enable my growth. Life is about constantly evolving. Every experience is a point to see what works and what doesn’t. I’m lucky to have all these diverse experiences that help me become better every day.

There are many other things I’m grateful for. It’d be endless if I try to write them all out in this post. As we all live only for a brief time in this world, good stuff and bad stuff both seem unimportant in the long term. But at least when we’re still living, these things count. Why not try to enjoy everything, no matter good or bad? Or, how can we know if one thing is good or bad?
