life is what you make it

A cliche of debatable validity.

On one side, this phrase may be seen to be reassuring, allowing a person to accept the ills of their life, whatever those might be, with grace, knowing that with effort, or wisdom, those ills can be surmounted, or even changed into something positive.

On the other side, this meaning can be seen to be irrelevant; the phrase ultimately becomes empty, asking a person to acquiesce to, in the form of the acceptance of "the good with the bad", the ill of the modern world in any or all of its forms.

How to make her sparkle ..

One small jar of mutual attraction

Handful of sincerity

Add a touch of humour

Dash of chivalry

Allow to cool

Ensure said lady knows she is the one and only ….

Deliver via romantic moments (energetic exchange) such as kissing, gazing or general flirtations ….

Success can be noted through the eyes, commentary or artistic expression :D
