Life is what you make it to be. And it has been proven that you are what you believe in.
Everyone wants to know how they have evolved as individuals, which can be theoretically very compelling. The very commonly asked question that we all must have come across at some point in our lives, “How are you feeling?”
It must not have occurred to many of you for several years that emotions have nothing to do with feelings. They are completely different entities of life, and do not co-exist.
Emotion is one’s state of being, whereas feelings are considered to be the expressions of these emotions for every individual.
Now, the question that arises here is, what actually determines a person’s internal feelings? The answer to this is not simple. It might take several years to discover the missing element. Or you might never find out.
Do people really talk about their beliefs? Do they really know that life is what you make it? In most cases, they do not. In fact, many do not even know about their beliefs beyond some point. Usually something they have been taught or told to believe, either consciously, or subliminally.
“You believe what you perceive”
Your perception of reality is determined by the beliefs you have. For instance, if you do not believe in the fact that life is what you make it, nothing can ever change your thoughts. Since your mind is instilled with disbelief.
What you believe in, dictates and creates your attitude. Eventually dictating your response. In a different way, dictate your feelings. Surely, feelings play a huge role in determining your behaviour.

Purpose in Life!
If you were ever asked discover what the true meaning of life is?
Many are still unaware when it comes to defining their purpose in life. If you would ever ask anyone this question, they would probably laugh it off, assuming that you have probably become psychotic.
To be content
I personally believe that the purpose of one’s life is to be content. From the bottom of our hearts, we all want to be happy. It is said that the more you worry about other people’s happiness, your own sense of well being becomes greater.
Building a warmhearted feeling for others gives you inner peace automatically. It removes every sort of fear and insecurity that is building deep inside us, giving us the strength to cope up with whatever life has to give us. So, life is what you make it. But the secret behind happiness is to want the same for others. The main key to be happy in life is inner peace.
Experience and Explore
Don’t just sit in one place, instead, get up and explore. Experience everything that is in or beyond your reach. So when one day someone asks you what you did in life, you can proudly say that you have lived life to its fullest.
Experience life to the fullest!
To become the best version of yourself
Be the first one to apologize during a fight, be the first one to get up when someone is in trouble. Do that and the purpose of your life would be fulfilled. Do not just sit there waiting for others to take the first step, be the initiator.
After doing so, the inner satisfaction you would get would not be like anything else in the world.
Life is What You Make it Quotes
Here is a list of some powerful “Life is what you make it” quotes by famous personalities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Doubt as sin. — Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature — is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. What is wanted are blindness and intoxication and an eternal song over the waves in which reason has drowned.”

Positive Outlook to Life
Whether it is the beginning of the year or end, you need to make a resolution that your life would be about nothing but positivism and happiness. In order to improve your life, you need to take the initiative to make it better. After all, life is what you make it, not how others want it to be.
Get rid of all the negativism in your life, because there is one thing for sure, that it will not last forever. Stop complaining, stop getting upset and angry. Overcome these feelings that make you feel any bad. It might seem like a never ending and awful spiral, but you can end it.
