What Defines You?

The happiest part of the day is the sunrise while the loneliest is sunset. But what actually defines the day is what happens in between. 

Our whole lifetime is like a stretched version of a day. We are born and then we die. But just like the day, our birth and our death does not define our whole life. What defines our life is how we lived it.

We can be born poor and die rich or the opposite yet what makes our lifetime complete is not our beginning nor our end. What really makes our life worth it is how we chose to live, to survive, to make our lives better. Our every sweat, our every tear, our every smile, this is what makes our lifetime complete. Our experiences, our memories, the people we meet, the things we did, this is what makes us complete.

We are not defined by the cicumstances of our birth nor should we be defined by how we chose to die. These things are only a part of our whole life. Our life should have more meaning than this.
