What Makes Life Worth Living?

Look for the beauty in every single day.

The only time you can truly find out how to be happy when everything is going amazing is by finding these things when everything sucks.

It’s easy to find a reason that makes life worth living when everything is going great, but when everything is down in the drain, when you are at the end of your rope, that is the time you truly need that reason.

You are not going to find that when it is no effort at all, and attempting to do so will likely just bring you further down the rabbit hole.

Because, the honest truth is that No one can give you the answer because it does not exist.

Everyone has a different reason for living and a different meaning they add to life.

There is no stable, all-encompassing, ‘One-Size-Fits-All’ reason to live.

In fact, many people believe life is not worth living.

They believe nothing holds a purpose, understand that everything will be forgotten with time and that nothing truly matters.

And I agree.

There is nothing that makes life worth living.

Life is not designed to be “Worth it”; it just is.
