Every minute of every day is a minute closer to death. From the second we are born we begin to die. It's a sad fact that evolution encoded in our DNA, but it doesn't mean that we should let life pass us by no matter how short it may be. Face it, life really is short even though, at times, it may feel like forever. You should enjoy life and live out your dreams while you can.
By looking on the "bright side" of every situation we can see things from a happier point of view and see our way around any of the many opsticles in life that could otherwise get us down. By spending more time actually doing the things you dreamed of instead of sitting back and continuing to dream, you can achieve your goals.For exanple, if you choose to do something about your complaint of never getting to see the ocean, you just might see the ocean rather then if you chose to keep complaining and never did anything about it. If you sit at home every day watching television and thinking of how great it will be when you find Mr./Mrs. Right and never go out and look for them, you'll probably never find them. Spend more time consentrating on your present and future and quit living in the past. Hindsight is great, but it doesn't get you anywhere. Unless you have E.S.P., don't judge people on a first impression or you may miss out on a special friend. When someone hates you for something you believe in, look at it as though they do not understand your beliefs or nothing of them and explain them to them; they just might learn something new and find a friend in you at the same time. Unless your religion has been scientifically proven, don't tell others it is a fact because a belief is just that - a belief - and nothing more. Take the time to stop and watch the sunrise because if you are too busy all the other times you may never really see it again (not to mention all the other wonderful things there are in nature to see that you might easily miss out on seeing). When you and your spouse fight, spend more time trying to understand them instead of thinking of something hurtful to say back and your relationship will become much closer than you ever imagined it could be.
To put it simply, if you never take the time to enjoy life, then you'll never really live and since life is short you should do your best to live it to the fullest. Dreams are worth achieving and beliefs are worth believing. Don't let life pass you by and do your best to enjoy it while you can. |
