LIVE UR LIFE
We all know that sometimes our lives can take unexpected turns, but I have found that it is how we react to these turns that define us. Everything in life from the birth of a child to the passing of a dear friend can be viewed as WE decide. The situation does not dictate how it is viewed, but our perception of it does.
If you begin to look at life for the true wonder it really is; filled with vitality and love, laughs and joy, smiles and giggles…then you can begin to see how wonderful everyday can be and you too have the choice to change your perspective if you are willing to try.
See, in each and every moment in our lives we can CHOOSE on how to react. Often times we get in a rut or groove and just begin to form bad habit on reacting to things. Sometimes you will think something is bad before you hear the whole idea or decide something has made you mad before encompassing the whole thought of it.
I CHOOSE to be in a great mood!! I CHOOSE to separate myself from negativity and negative people. Life is too short to dwell on why you didn’t get a raise or why you don’t have the same things as others…your life is what you’ve decided to make of it.
You ARE right where your efforts and attitude have placed you…there are no real victims of society and there are plenty of examples to prove that if you truly want it. EVERYTHING and ANYTHING is possible! YOU have the choice to be life’s victim and sit by and watch others have fun…OR you can get up and go with them!! I choose to go!!
Once you begin to do this (start small) your life will really begin to change for the better in every way. Start with thinking and believing that EVERYDAY is wonderful and special, not just birthdays and holidays! Why do I have to wait till my calendar says it is O.K. to have a good time, grill some steaks or have a beer with a buddy? Why can’t I have the best time of my life at 5:12 on a rainy Tuesday with a roll of duct tape and a toothpick? I CAN and HAVE!!
You know, sadly it took almost dying before I realized how amazing every single second of my life is…I am constantly making memories that I want to last a life time and they include everyone and everything. All moments are big because they only happen once…make the most of yours!!!
Oh, please note; as soon as you start living for now and being happy all of the time the idiots come out of the wood-work. Everyone has something negative to say because that is all they know. People will begin to seek you out and tell you WHY you should be sad or upset or things you should dwell on…amazing that so many people can only lift their spirits by dragging yours down.
Keep your head up, look towards the sun!! Live your life and help others learn to live theirs. Be free, live in the moment and make memories to last forever but most of all…love life and try your best to live it everyday.
Much Love –

A dear friend tagged me on this letter .... he's a pretty amazing guy! We share many of the same ideas and views. Thinking if most of the people we know could have this view ... what a better place we would all live in! Peace and love~
