Congratulations on Your Best Gift, Good Life, and Goals for the Year 2021

My Celebrate My 21st Birthday With Me writing contest has come to its end.

Again, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all the users who have shared their personal stories and experiences to come up with their entries for this special event. Surely, your time and effort weren't put to waste because your articles gave me (and other users who got to read your articles) so many valuable lessons to learn.

Read all the final entries on This Link.

Personally, all of you have inspired and motivated me to appreciate all the little things I receive as gifts and that the best gift we can ever obtain is not something grand, that the Good life is something we decide for ourselves, and setting goals is as important as making plans.

I have read all of the 23 entries submitted and here are some of the quotable lines that I have learned on some of the articles.

Question 1: "What is the best gift you have ever received, and Why?"

@carisdaneym2

" I must say that the best gift we have ever received is the love of our father in heaven. Jesus Christ his Son, who died for us as a sacrifice for the sins of humanity."

@jekai_88

"Life may offer me a lot of things but nothing compares to the best gifts that I had already received, my children."

@Jeaneth

"As for me, the greatest gift I have ever received is my redemption from what I've been through. The end is not in sight yet. I may encounter a lot of challenges in the future but I know for myself that I'm stronger than ever because He gave me another chance to fight my battles throughout my life."

Question 2: "What for you is a 'GOOD LIFE'?"

@Sayonara

"We may never understand what makes a decent life 100% however we ought to consistently be on the experience of searching for reality."

@jekai_88

"I may not be living a good life now but I'm going to make sure that I'll achieve a good life in the future. And I'll start it by being grateful for the family that I have now."

@Anabiya

"A good life where there's love, peace, happiness, kindness, and remembrance of God. Doesn't matter if you have money or not, if you have luxurious or not, if you have the above-mentioned things in life then congratulations you're living A good Happy life."

@Yen

"I surrender my life in God and I let God do his best plans on our life because He knows what the best and whatever problem you will encounter we know that God has a better plan for us."

@carisdaneym2

"Live your life with mixed emotions, Try to make out what gives you bliss. Indulge yourself in something that will make you enjoy doing and gives you satisfaction. That will definitely help you let go and move forward. Although you may be hurt by people, life should not stop there and try to live your life with happiness, love, and satisfaction."

Question 3: "What are you looking forward to in the year 2021?"

@Laurenceuuu

"Dream high! Setting your goal isn't bad! If you want to be more successful, try to set your goal high but reachable! Set a goal that you think you can achieve... Nothing is impossible, just trust yourself and be a goal-oriented person. Think positively and act according to the plan so you can achieve your goal."

@Pisces-jr15

"Planning isn't ended in a single day. Every day will be a planning stage, Every bit of detail can be improved and changed to a better outcome. Planning needs a concrete goal and dynamic strategies. I also see to it that this would not be just plans, Actions are also needed."

@bbyblacksheep

"If you want to set a goal, you have to be driven, focused, motivated, confident, risk-taker, and has the right mindset and that CAN or positive attitude towards achieving your dream."
