Essential Knowledge
Life pertains to existence. It makes people think, act, assess, and develop over time. What sets people apart from inorganic matter is life. Many truly enjoy having free will in life. Others lack this right, such as slaves and prisoners. But life is more than just getting by on your own in society. Certainly, it goes far beyond that. Therefore, life quality is really important. Living a meaningful life should be the ultimate goal above all else. One that enables us to have a closer connection with ourselves is a meaningful existence (Toppr). Life is not easy, some hurdles would make us give up, and however, life is also filled with happiness and positivity. You made a mistake, but the important part is you learned from it. Every person has different stories, these stories have lessons and motivations to live.

LIFE MAP
Have you heard of life mapping?
Listing the most important moments in your life from the time of your birth to the present is known as life mapping. To avoid getting stuck attempting to recall the sequence in which things happened in your life, you can arrange it either chronologically or randomly. A life map can also be used for exploring future goals, strategies, and plans.
How to create a life map?
In creating a life map, you should think about the impactful event of your life (Mwangi 2022). First, making a life map allows you to see yourself from a third person’s point of view. In good situations you can pat yourself for doing great things, in bad situations, you can bash yourself for doing such things and with that you can ponder on how to stop yourself from making the same mistake again.
Second, you may have changed in ways that no longer benefit you as a result of some positive or negative circumstances. For example, you had to make things happen to you since you had to grow up and take on greater responsibilities after things happened to you when you were younger. T
