Let me put it bluntly: Life doesn’t hand out freebies to anyone. Under the sun, we all have to work for what we have and what we want. Life is a verb, not a noun—it’s all about action. And it doesn’t care whether you’re rich or poor, powerful or just finding your way; it will test your worthiness to keep going and reach those more meaningful, fulfilling pastures.

Here’s what I’ve learned about handling life, summed up into a few guiding “rules”:

  1. Accept who you are and where you are right now—every journey starts here.
  2. Practice self-empathy when facing your flaws (you’re human, not a superhero).
  3. Embrace life fully—no filters, just the real stuff.
  4. Anchor yourself to your core values (your “five elements”) that keep you grounded.
  5. Choose words over silence when something or someone bothers you; unspoken feelings only echo louder.
  6. Assimilate rather than isolate—life’s richness is in diversity.
  7. Stay open to people and change; flexibility is your best friend here.
  8. Challenge your own perspectives—often, the problem isn’t what we see, but how we see it.
  9. Remember, happiness can make you vulnerable, but pain? It makes you stronger.

So, embrace the full ride of life: accept who you are, stay open to change, and remember—happiness makes us vulnerable, but pain makes us stronger. Life will keep testing you, but the beauty is in how you respond. Keep growing, keep living, and keep thriving.
