“I will just start building something then and there” I often think to make a change
in my life which is uncomfortable, but it is the only way to make it work. Building
something not only means economic stability and career, but it also refers to the
bonding with the loved ones and most importantly our relationship with ourselves.
As I don’t know what is the actual purpose of my life I think I should always try
to move forward whenever I get a chance because life is very unpredictable and
full of ups and downs (Artaud). I didn’t know whether my life is short or long so I
cherish every moment of my life. I think people should focus on building
something which matters to them so they can enjoy the rest of their life. I believe
that we should start with something today and gradually increase our habits,
because everyone wants to live their life happily and wants to achieve their goals
but it is sometimes difficult for them because they don’t know the steps which are
necessary to achieve those goals (Raynor). I think that people should not only
focus on building a career but also focus on building a life and it can be only done
if we follow our heart and soul. I often think to build the life that I want but
sometimes it is difficult for me to maintain the routine. I always think to full fill
my dreams but sometimes end up wishing for the whole year without taking any
action but I will take even the smallest step every day to make my dreams come
true. I will stay positive and ignore all the bad habits (Kear). I will set a goal with
proper planning because without a plan a goal is just a wish. I will always struggle
for the things I want because everyone struggles and the hard time has shaped us

into the person that we are today. I am thankful for the struggle I am in today
because it is developing the strength I need for tomorrow.
