What if the secret to a happy and fullfilled life was not hiding from us, but it was staring us straight in the eye, just waiting for us to jump in, take a chance, and embrace it?
After awhile you begin to understand what life is really about. You live, you learn, you build a big ole bridge and get over the stuff that never really mattered to begin with. You learn that the things that consume you today probably will not matter tomorrow, let alone a year or two from now.
Living a life full of happiness is easier than we like to make it out to be. I know that I for one have not fully embraced this precious life I have been given, but I am sure going to do my best at it.
† Always give your whole heart.
† Be present.
† Be kind to others.
† Understand, listen, and take a deep breath before reacting.
† Be honest.
† Take care of your body.
† Do not rush life. Live at your own pace.
† Laugh.
† Cry.
† Sing.
† Dance.
† Pray.
† Never be ashamed to ask for help when you need it.
† Do what you love.
† Find something your passionate about.
† Make memories.
† Take it all. The good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, the sad, the happy. Take it all in. These are the things that make you who you are.
I could go on for days and days about what makes this life a happy place to be, but it all comes down to one key thought...
I need God to soften my heart and open my eyes to this beautiful life we have all been given.
I know that in the darkest of hours and the coldest of nights He is there to warm my soul with the good news of an eternal life with Him, and that my friends is all you really need. The rest is all just the "stuff" that gets us through it.
