"Life is a rollercoaster" some will say. It's a bed of rose consistently to others, but what's it for you?

What's life for you.

Mine was like this before it became sour.

The evening was peaceful, I had just finished my writing my contents for the next day. I sat to think a little before retiring to be.

I can remember how perfectly I had planned my life out in my head that before I said my prayers that night.

"Beautiful plans." I said to myself smiling before I let my eye lids close to sleep.

Be married at 25

Give birth to my first twin at 28

Travel abroad at 30

Have a million dollars investment before I'm forty.

Those were the exact plans I had that night.

I remember I was 20 then.

Those look beautiful, right?

But here's what I didn't know, "life doesn't work the way it does in your head."

The moment it became sour…

And so after thinking and planning how I wanted my life to be like, I woke up one day with a life threatening sickness that kept me bed ridden for 3 years.

Did I marry at the age I wanted? Of course not. Other than the first tragedy of my life which was a heart related problem, I had series of other unpleasant experiences thrown at me by life.

What am I driving at?

Life is beautiful and ugly at the same time. Just like gifts given, to some, gifts are loved and treasured, and some, disliked and wished it was never given to them.

We are never given the liberty to choose the kind of life we want, so I urge you to appreciate every second or moment you're being given.

Appreciate life, family, loved ones because you never can tell when everything will turn out to be your worst nightmare.

Make plans, but never forget that even so, life doesn't always work out the way we've planned in our heads.

Make each day count.

Make today count.
