Definition of Life

My definition of life consists of:

happiness,

success,

and family.

 

But I know that to get these three

you must have faced:

Hopelessness,

Failure,

and Disapointment. 

 

Just how there is no good without bad,

you may not know that you have already met your expectations unless you know what it is to fail to meet your expectations. 

 

So live and fail. Fail so that you know how to get back up to succeed. Get back up and show yourself that you are capable of anything.

 

This is my definition of life.

 

What's yours?
