About This Quote
Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us. To live a life of ease and comfort, we often take the life of others for granted. We take for granted the things we have been given in life, from food to shelter. We take for granted our family and friends who have been there for us through thick and thin.
Instead of being grateful for all that we have been given in our lives, we often just use it as a road map to success. Life is more than just a story with a beginning and an end. Instead, it is a journey filled with ups and downs where we can learn from our mistakes and grow stronger.
