An ordinary life
You may find routine and monotonous
You may find it not very flavorful
You may find it to be humdrum

An ordinary life
Is what is strived for by many
Who are placed in the most extraordinary of circumstances
And who did not choose it

A life is extraordinary
Both when measures of success call it out
And when measures of failure leave no room for doubt
That a life has been wasted away

Either way you have lived
Changes not your happiness
If relationships you have built
Show not their friendliness

Many an outlook on life can change
By looking at things from a fresh perspective
Energize your life and don’t compare
With others who have lived a totally different narrative.
