Just a Reminder…

To Say Yes to Life

Life is meant to be lived in eternal joy, infinite freedom, unconditional love and unbounded happiness.  Any other life is missing the point of being human.  So think bigger, forget limits, embrace the idea of endless possibility, break the rules, forgive quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. 

It will all change you.

And remember, the things that matter most  in life are free.

We Belong to Each Other

I was thinking last night while watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics about what a happy atmosphere the ceremonies were.  People representing 204 countries…smiling, hopeful, happy, excited, and friendly with each other.  The Olympics represent excellence and the best in all of us.  There is no separation in their minds, only the pursuit of dreams.  It’s a coming together of the world in a most positive way.  

Hmmmm…peace sure is a lot more beautiful than war and hatred.

“If we have no peace it is because we have forgotten we belong to each other”

Mother Theresa

Have Your Best Day Ever

The reality of death and that we are all here only for a short time is one of the greatest reminders to embrace what’s important and quit focusing on small things.  The small things take up so much of what we think about and focus on. And then we worry about what other people think, will we fail, that we aren’t good enough, what if, etc.   Honestly, does any of that matter?  

 Don’t let anything stop you from living, dreaming, loving, and following your heart.  It’s all too short and sometimes we don’t get a second chance.  Today, do something different you’ve always wanted to do and see how amazing you feel.

 

Life is such an amazing gift and it is our responsibility to live it in alignment with our authentic selves, focusing always on what and who is important.  If you haven’t been living your best life, don’t  waste another minute.  You can change right now.  You don’t need another day, to first finish whatever, to have more money, or to wait for anything…now is all you need to start fully living.

 Have your best day ever.

The Gift of Age

“The greatest gift of age is perspective.  Perspective is wisdom.  You only get it by living and then looking back and reflecting”
