The passing of another year doesn’t guarantee a year’s worth of wisdom gained. While it is hoped that we should all achieve this, unfortunately, most of us don’t. Birthdays, like anniversaries, are accomplishments that people have come to celebrate. But have you really taken the time to ponder if your life is worth all the hype? Is it really worth celebrating another year of life?

Existence is fleeting and unnoticeable. In this regard, if one hasn’t lived his/her life to the full, then one isn’t living at all. The physiological aspect of merely breathing, I suppose, isn’t enough to merit a grandiose celebration. And yet, ironically, waking up to witness a new day merits enough reason to celebrate.

I say we should take on the challenge of living. Carpe diem. Because no matter how each day passes by where nothing seems to change, try to look back and you’ll realize that everything’s already different. Today is indeed a present–a mystery we should always unravel to its very core.

And so we should take on a mission to do good, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant. A good life can be achieved through good deeds. After all, life should be lived well.
