Life is like being on a Rollercoaster

You’ve all heard the saying before right? I’m sure you have.. I know this is a tad random but just my thoughts.. 

 

We all at some point have felt it, thought it, experienced it. The ups and downs of life makes us all who we are. It makes us great. It makes us pathetic.

I’m writing about this analogy because recently, I have felt that my life is all down. And then I realised something; for me, the down is like the slow, boring ride to the top of the tracks. You know how the rollercoaster starts off with a slow uphill climb? And we’re all only looking forward to what comes after that, the ride itself.

But instead of waiting to reach the top, instead of looking forward to the fun part, the ups, maybe instead, we should appreciate the downs as well. Enjoy the climb. It is almost always as long or longer than the ride itself anyway. So kick back, take a look around. Look at the kid beside you whose face is green with fear. Take a look at the view, the rest of the amusement park! You’re probably at the highest point of the amusement park anyway. So why not enjoy it?

We all have ups and downs in our lives. Learn to enjoy the downs, go wild with the ups, and at the end of the day, we’ll all have a little bit less to complain about.

Learn to make your life more enjoyable, worth living.
