Have you ever wondered why we exist--what are we doing here?
Has
that ever entered your mind? Many times I feel like I am on the
outside looking on. I feel like it is all too surreal yet it is
as real as YOU & I standing in front of a mirror.
Life is a strange yet challenging opportunity to make a go of
every minute. To love and enjoy every moment we possess. After
it's passed you by--IT'S GONE FOR GOOD--NEVER TO RETURN! Yet we
are so good at wasting so many precious moments and we don't
seem at all concerned by that. Well I think we should be--I
think we shouldn't be worried about it but we should be
concerned. I believe, Worrying is a Waste of precious time,
whereby being Concerned is Caring enough to do something about
it! So why don't we--do something about it?
Could it be we are just too lazy to move on with spunk and
enthusiasm--with a zest for life itself or is it because we are
not confident we can succeed with whatever it is we want to do.
Do we know what we want to do? All these questions with no
answers ...
Here's my suggestion ...
Wake up in the morning with a Zest for the Day ahead. First
things first--SMILE--say thank you for being alive and breathing
more breathes to get you through the day ahead. Then get out
there and LIVE--LIVE LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW! Enjoy the little
things--the breeze blowing through the trees, the birds sailing
above, the butterfly as it makes its adventure for only 24 hours
of it's WHOLE life. Don't scoff at me--just do it and be amazed
at how good it makes you feel. Be amazed at how much life and
love of life you have. As you venture into work or whatever lays
ahead keep your attitude positive and enjoyable. Even when the
toughest of blows punches you in the face, face it with an
attitude of 'I CAN DO THIS--I AM VERY CAPABLE--AND I WILL!"
When you have lived a positive day even through the battle zones
of life, and you make your way home through the traumas of
traffic--take it all on with an attitude of JOY & HAPPINESS.
Amazing isn't it? We have a choice in life to do either- be
crabby or cheery. Yet we normally choose the first one ... the
easy road! So now that you are overcoming the negative attitude
and replacing it with positive energy, get excited. You have
overcome something the minority of us human beings can't
overcome! Be proud of yourself and don't let go of that healthy
feeling.
SO NOW YOU ARE WANTING TO BE LOVING, HAPPY, THANKFUL,
JOYFUL, GRATEFUL and so the list goes on. It is an
accomplishment so give yourself a pat on the back, and then give
yourself a medal if you think you can do it again tomorrow!!!
Can You ??? !!!
Of course you can--as quoted by David Burns, Intimate
Connections There is only one person who could ever make you
happy, and that person is 'you'.
With all that good positive love and adoration for oneself, it
has to be a big injection of healthy medicine into your system.
I do believe that a happy outlook is a healthy outlook.
As quoted by myself, Jenny Regeling GIRLS JUSTS WANT TO HAVE FUN
- BUT DON'T WE ALL!
I should know I am a woman and I have three daughters and a
granddaughter! Ladies - you need to start taking care of
yourself in order to run a happy household. For many years I
thought by placing myself last in line everything and everybody
would be well looked after. After the death of my Mum when I was
29 years of age, I realized that my Mum always put herself last,
and in doing so, didn't look after her own health or wellbeing.
Don't get me wrong she was a beautiful woman - the best - always
organized, clean and tidy and always looking out for us. When it
came to her health and happiness though, that also came last.
She thought by placing everyone else first and her health &
wellbeing last we would be better off. But once we lost her, I
realized I needed her so much more than I had previously
realized.
You see if you make a point of looking after yourself
for your sake, you are doing your family and friends a bigger
favor by sticking around a whole lot longer too. I would much
rather have mum here than gone, and I wish I had told her that
more often too. So ladies, please do one thing today to make
yourself feel great ... take that time out for you! Don't say
you can't - you CAN!!! Do it for you, your family and anyone
else that comes across you in life. Be a WITNESS to your
encouragements and positive, helpful advice! Go on give 'YOU'
some good advice and be happy--extremely happy for everyone's
sake!
