Heartbeat

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Tune out all the sounds around you.

What do you hear? Is it the continuous sound of the swirling fan? Or is it the drops of water falling from your shower head?

Tune them out too.

Now lie down on your bed, and listen. Listen to your own heartbeat. That constant thud against your chest, the knowledge that you are still alive. Doesn't it just renew your view on life? Doesn't it just gives you another reason to strive for the best?

We give up on things so easily that we hardly notice it when we're doing it. Our heart, such a small piece of muscle, is able to constantly pump itself just to make sure you survive. Why not, us?

Life is just like a heartbeat, we have to keep on living it until one day, we have reached the end.
