Is life always a race to the finish line? Life, amongst all its aspects, humans, elite or mediocre only want two things, love and happiness. People need love to be fulfilled and happiness to feel the fullness of life. But why do people rush things as if they are in a race? Yes, life is always considered a race, fast-paced, dangerous and exciting. According to a quote in the movie Forrest Gump, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you'll get". If only people would realize this, they might not take or perceive life as an endless race.

It is clear that people somehow and sometime rush things. As if they want things to happen in a flash. They never see the yellow caution race flag of life. They never see the danger that lurks in the corner. They want everything to happen so fast but then when the moment they wanted comes their way, people wish it would never end. They cling to things especially if these are about love and happiness. However, it becomes dangerous as it can be a self induced poison. To wallow in happiness and never think of tomorrow or to disregard love only to find out they let go of the perfect one. Both scenarios only lead to regret and depression.

If still people want to perceive life as a race then so be it. If it's about life make the race short, set goals and go for gold. Always see the checkered flag and perceive every moment as an individual race. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but that makes life beautiful. To enjoy the feel of victory and triumph of each moment and to learn from the lessons of every loss. In life we win, we lose but still we keep on living, for love, for happiness and for someone above.
