How can we view our lives as a story given that being mortal?

We can view love as a story by seeing the events in our relationship as chapters. Every day is a new page being written. For example, a simple dinner date can be a small but sweet part of the story.

We can view our lives as individual chapters within the never - ending story of the world. Each of us has a unique role to play, and our experiences contribute to the overall narrative.

To view our lives as novels, we need to recognize the elements that make up a story. The people we meet are the characters in our story. The relationships we form, whether good or bad, are like the interactions between characters in a novel. Our dreams and goals are the themes that run through our life - story. Just as a novelist weaves a tale, we can look at how we are weaving the fabric of our own lives.

We can start by spreading love and kindness. Simple acts of helping others can make a big difference.

We can start by being kind to others. For example, a simple smile to a stranger can make their day better and might even lead to a positive interaction that could be part of a happiness - based story. Another way is to pursue our passions. Just like the young man Tom in the previous story, when we engage in something we love, it often brings us joy. And also, sharing with others is important. If we have something good, whether it's a skill or a possession, sharing it can create positive experiences and stories.

We should be more flexible. Since life is not a story with a set plot, we need to adapt to the unexpected. Don't be too rigid in our plans.

One way is to set positive goals. For example, if you aim to learn a new skill like painting, that can be the start of a happy new story. As you progress in learning, you'll have new experiences and achievements which can make the story a happy one.

In our daily lives, we often set goals and work towards them over time. This process is like a story. The start of the goal - the idea and planning - is the beginning. The journey of achieving it, with all its ups and downs, is the middle. And when we reach the goal or perhaps change our direction, that's the end of that particular story within the framework of time. Our lives are a collection of such stories, and time is what binds them together.

We can focus on positive news sources and avoid those that are full of tragic events.

Build strong relationships based on trust. If people trust you and you trust them, there's less likelihood of blackmail. In a work environment, be honest and reliable in your dealings.
