...live...laugh...love...

..laugh insanely...forgive quickly...love truly..

..i don't want to get to the end of my life and find i have just lived the length...i want to have lived the breadth as well...

...its not a bad thing to go along in life...living in the moment...

...to set goals and work towards them...

...to be focused...driven...determined...

...but how much greater to go through life enjoying those things...

...to embrace every single thing we are working hard for...

...to enjoy the journey just as much as the reward at the end...

...yes often the road to our goals is tough and full of challenges...but how much sweeter will that accomplishment be...if we endure the ride with acceptance...

...if we stumble along the way...

...we can get back up...say its ok...not beat ourselves up...

...but ask what have i learnt here?

...even if its as simple as..i wont be so stupid next time...

...every single thing that happens along life's journey...can teach us something...

...its not always a lesson we want to learn...

...it can at times be heart breaking...

...but learning to be ok with how we feel is the hardest part ...

...because we are conditioned as infants not to cry...'shhh little baby'...

...and we are thinking...but hey...I'm hungry...i cant talk...

....this is the only way i can deal with this problem...

...and from then on...we are taught things like..

'Be Happy...there is someone worse off than you'...

...'there is no point crying...you cant change the situation'...

...'you shouldn't hate anyone'...

well...guess what...its OK to have all those feelings!!!!

...its what we do with them....

....so how nice would it be to go through life aware of this and just go with it??

...not letting it take over...

...and then refocus on enjoying every aspect of our journey...

..once again it comes back to choices...

...we can choose to meander through life without really living ...

...but how much sweeter to embrace it?!!!

... and choose to laugh often...

...be okay with disappointmant..anger...saddness...

...and really love those who are there for us...
