Our requirements are countless, and fulfilling our needs may be an uphill task for us. If we try to list all our wishes, then even a few lifetimes would not be enough to fulfil them. In my opinion, we just have to prioritise what is most important, and we should spend the rest of our precious moments in the service of what is meaningful and purposeful. This is what will make our lives more beautiful.

True home is where love and respect are shared and held as precious. Beautiful houses and castles are just symbols of what a true home is supposed to be. When we are living in any place without love and respect, then we are just living in a concrete jungle. Therefore, in my opinion, even though it may be hard in the beginning, we should cherish mutual love and respect. Then our sweet home will be even more beautiful. 

We see our lives in many different faces, like the four seasons. We can accept mishaps and pleasure in life from a logical and meaningful perspective. With such an attitude, the ups and down of our lives will not adversely affect us, and we may be able to sail through with few difficulties. In my opinion, life itself is quite challenging, and our own wrong actions will make our lives even harder. Therefore, be content, have fewer expectations, and with little hard work, we will see our lives as even more beautiful and meaningful.
