Life
I don’t want him to sit in a room and have people have to take care of him. I want him to have a life. #lemonademaker
Life
Celebrate that we are all different because each one of us is special.
Know deep inside your soul, that only you know what is best for you, and go out and do it.
Cling to the things closest to your heart, for without them, life is meaningless.
Live your life to the fullest, ALL the days of your life; by living your life in the present, not the past or for the future.
Remember that nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. You will always have something to give as long as you are still trying.
We are all less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.
Take risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Take the time to not only remember where you’ve been, but to also celebrate where you are going.
The best gift to you can give to another person is to make sure they feel appreciated.
Learning is a gift that we can give ourselves that never stop giving back. Knowledge is a weightless treasure that is easily carried.
Use your time and words carefully. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
How We Look At Life
“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” – John Homer Miller
How do you look at what happens in your life? Do you think that fate steps in and makes certain things happen? Are you just along for the ride? Or are you the master of your destiny? Is life a school where you learn a lesson and then move on to the next one? Or are you stuck in “Groundhog Day” repeating the lesson over and over again, because you just can’t get it right?
I firmly believe that it is all about how we look at things that happen in our life. Does life happen to you (it is beyond my control) or do you happen to life ( I am in control)? I believe (at least at this moment) that it is a combination of both.
When drama has entered “through stage door left”, sometimes it knocks me on my butt. I sit there experiencing the emotions that the drama triggered. Heartbreak, fear, anger, angst…, etc. At some point that emotion washes through and I start back up the emotional ladder into more positive vibrations. I don’t sit there wallowing in it. I pick myself back up and look for what I can use to get back on track. I review what happened. Was it something that I caused, or was I just in the way of someone else’s causation? What can I do to bring the whole experience out of the refuse and into something that can be used?
That is the way that my mind works. Is this a good story? Is there a hero here or is this just a comedy of errors? What is so fantastic is the tapestry that life weaves in our background when we aren’t paying attention. Look at a medieval tapestry and there is so much happening. All of these different scenes/dramas are in the background each telling a different story to each one who views it. What story is life telling you? Look again and I know that you can find whatever kind of story you are looking for. That is the beauty of “how we look at life” – it is all in the interpretation.
Life
“Your life is always working. You simply say it is not working in the moments that it is not bringing you what you want. Sometimes life brings you what you want, and sometimes it works to keep you from what you think you want until you can mature and grow and see that it isn’t what would have brought you the highest and best, that it wasn’t your next most beneficial step.” – Donald Walsh
