Life as a Roller Coaster

 Life is a roller coaster. There are ups and downs to everything. Some days are better than others and some people may or may not treat us right. However, if we want a good life, it is important to understand why there has to be ups and downs. If you think about it, if we only had ups, we would be perfect and become boring because we're the same. Although that sounds great, if we do not fail and make mistakes, we wouldn't be interesting and know how to learn. If we only had downs, then we would be sad and stay that way. This is another way how the world can be boring. Therefore, ups and downs help us grow and become who we want to be.

It is important to think about this situation, but we have to feel the ups and downs too. We have to think and feel at once. An example is if you got a promotion at work, your head is saying congratulations, while the heart is feeling joy. You have to use those resources in order to express your emotions in life. If the head only works, there would be nothing to feel and only think. If the heart only works, then it can only express emotions, and the head doesn't have the ability to process them. Therefore, we need both negative and positive feelings to give our ups and downs an understanding in our lives.

The ups and downs working together is essential in any situation. The best benefit to get out of these two concepts is it makes everyone different. The world goes round when everyone feels and acts differently. If everyone was the same in a positive or negative manner, life would be dull. We have to make mistakes in order to grow and learn. The roller coaster is our guide to a successful and healthy life. Therefore, live how you want to, but remember to feel too.
