Life is not always smooth sailing, but then again, it wouldn’t be much fun if it was. Sometimes the waves are rough and the sea becomes turbulent due to strong winds. Is it not natural for life to also be constantly changing and taking on various forms? Your life will also be full of 180-degree turns and moments when everything turns upside down. I believe the secret to enjoying a rewarding and fulfilling life lies in embracing life’s most difficult moments with unwavering determination and a positive mindset.Changing the shape, direction, and angle of the lines of a shape will give us an even broader variety of shapes and forms. Even if my life is flipped over, distorted, or tilted in one direction, as long as my identity remains intact, I can constantly adapt to various crises by changing and evolving.
