Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, bittersweet experiences and suffering. Whatever would go wrong would eventually go wrong (Murphy’s law); the key to living a meaningful life is to learn to suffer mindfully. As German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.” “If it’s to be, it’s up to me” means taking responsibility for your life, accepting the things you can control and living your life on your terms. If you want to get anything done in life, it is up to you to find the resources, associations, connections and beliefs to get it done. No one is coming to the rescue; you are all you need, your potential is enough, and you are worthy and capable of achieving anything you set your mind to attain.
