Life is beautiful with the dawn of a new day, beginning with the sunrise. New hopes and encounters promise nothing sure, tangible and encouraging, at times. But good intentions are often misinterpreted, causing disillusions and unnecessary heart breaks.

Being nice can backfire. It's painful and leaves unforgettable regrets. Whatever we do, consciously or unconsciously, harsh consequences may not be worth facing.

Being human is all it takes to discover what living is all about. Looking for newer and better opportunities may often leave things that will leave most of the undesired.

Thinking about a mind-opening quote "We create opportunities, and not wait for one" cracks open the wallgates of simplistic belief that opportunities knock but once. That brings to the eureka of a new discovery.

We may believe, expect and wait to do right but the opportunity is already before our eyes. Just do it, if it astoundingly encourages and makes us feel good. But.. never do it to please others, as expectations can be very much one-sided, unpleasing and they are mostly biased.

So, be ourselves and uplift life according to the measures and values we've built, and never let others pull our firm, tested foundations to become another rubble.

Stay firm but be wise enough to live a life that's rewarding, despite promises that may not sound promising at all. Stay true and forget about pleasing others.

Pleasing the self and knowing what we choose to believe, do and expect will bring greater satisfaction and inner strength to live on.
