Teach a Life, for Life serves to encourage people from all walks of life to share their stories and pass forward their life lessons learned to better the lives of people - to discover, inspire and motivate one another. Moving forward, stories are collated from people of all walks of life, and the life lessons learned will be expressed in music to enrich the community. GIVING We are always in a learning mode—picking up a new skill, performing trials and errors, and trying till we succeed. When we fail, we pick ourselves up again, persevere and continue to search for that hopeful light to shine our paths to success. It is a real struggle to go through such a journey. Sometimes we blame ourselves for choosing such a difficult path; and sometimes we blame others for our own predicament. But when we self-reflect, the ups and downs in our lives, create contrasting emotional myriad of colours in our paths—some are dark grey, some are glistening white in colour. The good moments of whiteness remind us of the wonderful things that we already have in our lives. The dark grey moments, do they matter anymore? The grey and white coexist for us to appreciate what we already have. As we begin to understand and accept their existence together, our minds are released of its heavy chains of self-entitlements, disappointments and unrealistic expectations. We learn to let go of negative emotions, be grateful and appreciate life nuances, and give back to those who need it. The song, “Giving” is a reminder to myself that the paths that I’ve chosen may have been tough, however, I’ve been blessed by family and friends who have been there for me through thick and thin. Start giving, to make a difference in one’s life.
