Insights & Reflections about the poem "Desiderata" by Mac Ehrmann

          After reading the poem, many words stroke me. I realized many facts and lessons about life. For me, Desiderata is a poem worth reading. It gives inspiration to everyone especially to the people who are lost and feel that they're hopeless. And as I am reading the poem, every word comes into my heart.
         "Live. Laugh. Love." As the poem says, be yourself. Do whatever you want to do. Don't mind other's opinion. It's your own life. Cherish every moment. Every success, every failure, every memory. 'Cause it only comes once. Don't try to impress others. You are put in this world to express not to impress. And even though you fall, stand up! Nobody will help you but yourself. Don't depend to others. You have your own mind. And love everything. Love your family. Love your friends. Love your haters. Love all the people around you. And be thankful to all of them because with them, you are yourself now. Don't judge the people and things around you. You don't know them. Look at them at their good side and not at their negative side for someday, you will be thankful to them for coming into your life. Learn also to accept failure. Because once you're in the top, means you're always there. You should learn in your mistakes. For they will serve as a lesson for you someday. Smile and be happy. Everyone deserves to be happy! Everyone deserves to be inspired. Being happy doesn't need any reasons. You woke up this morning, it's a reason for you to be happy. God had given you another day to live.
           Go. Go explore the world. Live your life to the fullest. All of us have given time for us to live. All we can do is to use that 'time' wisely. Don't lose any chances. 'Cause maybe that chance happens just once. We are all put here to be happy. To learn. And to be a part of this peaceful world. We have our own roles. We have our own stories. And I believe in happy endings. When you're not happy, well it's not yet the end. Strive harder! To make your life meaningful!Leave all the fears behind. Do what makes you happy. Forget all the worries. We're not getting any younger. The opportunities today might not be there forever.
            Do your best always. That's all you can do to prevent regretting. And I believed that, 'everything happens for a reason'. God must put you there for a reason. And you know why are you here? For you to find out what's that reason is.
