Good Experiences In Life

There is a saying that, "all good things must come to an end."
This is not necessarily true.
There are good experiences in our lives that we don't want to end.
We must learn to enjoy those good moments in our lives and to cherish the memories of those good moments.

A good moment could be going on a great trip to your favorite place, maybe the beach.
Remember the times that you laugh, and remember those hard times even though they seem hard at the time; they make you stronger in the end.

What would your life be like if you thought about the bad experiences all the time?
Your life would be messed up as the rest of the world is because we don't try to think and find the good things in life.

Think about a time in your life that was a good time.
Whether that is meeting the love of your life, buying your first car, having a child, or spending time with family and those you love!
Hold and cherish that time today as you think back on the good things of life.
Life is too short to dwell on those bad things that hold you down.
Share that memory with at least one person today.
They will be glad and share in your joy!

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”

Fragile Life

You have often heard people talk about the fragility of life, right?
All of these doctors holding newborn babies or just the plain sight of a dead person after a crash.
We don't realize, as humans, that we could die at any moment.
For instance, if you walk out the door, go to work, and crash in your car on your way?

Now, after imagining a tragedy like that consider these questions.
Have you accomplished everything in life that you wanted to?
Did you reach those dreams you have often dreamed of?
Did you tell your loved ones that you loved them?

So many hurt people in this world are affected by the choices we make in our lives.
You may not think that you are hurting anybody when you drink or smoke.
In fact, you are killing other people besides yourself just the same.
It is impossible to smoke or drink inside a box.
Secondhand smoke is prevalent to the people around you, as well as, the fact that you may drive when you are drunk and may take someone else's life because you drank too much.

What I'm trying to say is, take a look at your life from behind the looking glass (out of body, from the outer world's perspective.)
Are you taking care of the fragile life and breath that you possess?
Are you guarding your heart?
I will tell you right now that the heart is the wellspring of life, both spiritually, emotionally, and physically!
Do you protect it?
