Living is a flexible experience. We can shape it any way. We may not decide which situations we would face, but our attitude towards it will highly impact the result/upcoming situation.
My mantra of living: Never React, always Respond

Because even despite everything there are little moments of joy, or happiness - e.g. reading a good book, the relief of a good walk or a good meal - and food now those little things will do. Until one day you feel happy and those things are just a bonus.

The real question is.. Why not?! There is nothing in this world that can stop you from from living your life the way you want to if you are determined, focused and respect yourself. Be happy, live life to the fullest. Coz we don't know what's gonna happen once we're no more alive. Atleast here we are certain of the types of difficulty and obstacles in our way. So, we can try our best to overcome them in the best possible way.

The best reason to keep on living is: because we're alive. While we are still alive we can grow and change. If live doesn't seem worth living, we can change ourselves or our perspectives, our thoughts and feelings. If a person is tired of living, it is often because there is more suffering than ease. It is possible to change, therefore it is possible to reduce suffering. Even just learning how to endure suffering better can make it seem less.
There is a practice called Radical Acceptance, in which every aspect of one's life is seen as an opportunity for growth and change. this is the best way I know to approach life's challenges with a positive attitude!
I ask myself: "What do i need to do to survive this in good spirits?" Sometimes the answer is: Do Nothing! Other times, I find that I must change something about the way i perceive the event or circumstance. Perhaps the answer is in the way i respond, a new way of responding may be required if the old one is producing suffering.
For 15 years I lived with OCD compulsive suicidal ideation; yet i never acted on that thought. Finally i found a way (through meditation and a sound therapy - binaural beats) to heal that brain chemistry disorder. And in the process, i discovered a place in myself where i am content. It was then that i was able to keep living without constantly asking that Question (Why Go On?). Now, I am able to be Present without the constant suffering, even thought i might be in pain, hard things happen, and otherwise life is not exactly what i might wish it to be.
If your life seems to be nothing but meaningless suffering, i would urge you to consider changing something about yourself or your circumstances. Many of us are not able to change our circumstances without help, but little-by-little we CAN change ourself. Best wishes!

Living is about experiencing the good, bad, the beautiful, the ugly, and everything in between. I know that sometimes life can get hard and it's difficult to get through the day, but I believe that if I want it to get better, I need to seek the help I need to be reminded that life is worth living no matter where it comes from. It could be from friends, family, professionals, or even strangers, and I know that as long as I reach out and make that brave first step to admit that there might some things I can't do on my own that there is hope for a better future.

Because one day things will be so much better, you will be really happy and you’ll be thankful you held on long enough to have some special moments. Because people care about you, even if you don’t think they do, and would be so upset if you weren’t here. If there’s anything you want to achieve, try really hard to get it because you probably can achieve it. If theres something you want to try, no matter how small, then try it because you never know you may love it. People would be devastated if you weren’t here, I don’t even know you and I care.

A hard thing for people to understand is that when looking at the big picture, you lose yourself in it and find the inferiority in your existence in comparison. One needs to focus on the their own big picture and focus on how they wish to project themselves in it. You don't need a "use" to live. You just do. You do it in the hopes that maybe tomorrow you'll make a stranger laugh or see a child walk hand in hand with their friends. You continue living because we are human and it is instinct. Youll drive yourself mad thinking of the "use" of living and youll forget to actually live. Take time to live for yourself. Enjoy the simple trivial pleasures that come with being human, with feeling.

We all have a reason and purpose, that only we can serve and we only we can fulfill! We just have to find it first, and believe that our journey towards that purpose is worth the wait. You make think today that it all seems hopeless, but as you live on you'll discover, step by step, that each days serves its own purpose and each breath is part of something bigger. Because, why else would you even be here if your life didn't have a purpose? Why be born as the amazing creature you are if you only lived for death. You are most certainly of value, and you most certainly have a purpose. Trust yourself and you'll find the answer.

Why keep living, what the use? Well based on my own experience even though there will be times where you doubt yourself and your own abilities there is always hope always faith that you can change your state of thinking! Nothing is easy! If you want something you have to fight for it! Find that little tiny bit of hope deep down inside of you and give it your best shot even if that means you have to meet the devil himself, look him in the eye and say I'm stronger than this! Rise up when other people have put you down! And re!ever you can do this! The only thing that is telling me I can't is my own head!!

There are multiple reasons in everyone's life to keep going. We all have it. Sometimes we are overwhelmed by something so much that we can't think of our reasons as a robust answer, these times are the tough times anyone goes through. We can even share out problems with someone whom we can trust. A friend, a counselor, someone in the family or maybe a listener here. It might not solve the problem for us but crossing a mountain with a pal is easier that doing it on our own. One thing for sure is that there is valid reasons in everybody's life. Its does not need to be same as others, people are different.
