ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING?

We all sometimes have heard sayings such as "that is life", "hmm this life," life is wicked", "life is full of suprises". I have even heard someone said "life is a war". These are illusory sense of expressions people have about life.
But come to think of it, must life always be about fighting? Must life always be about struggling? Do I have to live under the bridge to experience life? Do I have to hustle and bustle to make ends meet before I can experience this life?
These are few of the questions that keep on smooching my thoughts. Of course, life is not a bed of roses, but must it always be a bed of thorns. Yes, we must till the ground like the farmer, but even the farmer does not till the ground all day. He rests at night, smiles at night, knowing that tomorrow will be a better day. He sleeps and dreams of a bountiful harvest, one that will not only feed him, but fetch him some good money.
But the mistake some of us make is to keep on resting till the next night, sleeping till the next night and even dreaming till the next night. And then when we wake up, after doing the wrong things at the right time and doing the right things at the wrong time. We keep on struggling to make up for that day lost, we strive to get things done before the rainy seasson stops and then get it termed as "life".
That one day lost might just be the day we should have planted our seeds for a good harvest. It might just have been the day our farms needed us the most. A little resting is no harm, a little dreaming is no harm, but when done longer than necessary, sometimes we pay back in tenfolds we never could have imagined. Life is sweet for those who wants it to be sweet. Life is good for those who wants it to be good. Yes, sometimes life might be full of surprises, but the power to control these surprises lies in our palms.
Remember, this is just my opinion about "a pinch of life". Your own opinion also matters, not to me in particular, but to you most especially. I know I cannot change your opinion about some certain issues about life, but I can influence it to become a much more better opinion and please dream only at nights.
