| LIFE'S EXCLAMATION
POINTS |
A few years
back, we realized, after reading a series of articles and
going through a massive number of changes in our lives that we
do in fact have a very limited amount of time on this
planet. Waiting to live no longer became an option but
instead life threw itself head-on into our lives and we have
chosen to embrace it. It’s truly the little things
that make the difference. Taking the time to really
listen to the sounds that fill our world. Taking the
time to look around and appreciate all that God has given
us. We’ve only got one shot at this life, LIVE IT.
Embrace the things that make you happy, avoid the mundane,
dictated way of life that this planet’s inhabitants are so
eager to thrust upon anyone willing to conform to their
ways. We are evolving souls on an adventure that could
end at any moment. Make the most of
it. |

There is something I try to live by.
Something that inspires me to smile even on what seem like the
worst days, when it seems like the whole world is out to get
you and nothing can turn out right. Stop for a minute, take a
deep breath and think, "Does any of this really matter?" Does
it matter what kind of job I have? Does it matter where I
live? Does it matter how much money I make? What kind of car I
drive? Whether or not I can afford new clothes, furniture,
toys, whatever. Does any of it really matter? It's easy to get
caught up in the mind set of, I need that to be happy, or I
can't be happy unless I have this. I sometimes do it too.
Actually, I do it a lot. The truth is, though, everything will
work out the way it should. Take a deep breath, and trust in
that. Call it God or whatever you want to call it, but it's
there. There is a force surrounding us and I can make it work
for me, or I can make it work against me. Love yourself. Love
Others. Realize that everyone has fears, dreams, hopes,
feelings. Keep in mind that all you really need to survive is
love, food, shelter, air, water. Find joy in simple pleasures.
Love and be grateful for what you have, and want you don't
have will naturally come to you. That is what makes dreams
come true, to me, that is the "secret of life". Anyone can
make their life everything they want. All it takes is a belief
in yourself, a passion for what you're trying to achieve, and
the knowledge that you are powerful, you are strong, you are
the Supreme Being of your universe. I can do anything, if I
put my mind to it.! I don't have to worry. Why? What can
happen to me really? Even if my body dies, my soul lives on. I
am eternal. It's only my body that is not. I don't know all
the answers, but I have faith that when/I am to know, the
answer will show itself. I can be patient. After all, what
else is there to be? Why do I need to hurry anything? What am
I rushing towards? It's like I think there is one certain
point in my life where everything will then be perfect. But,
then life would be over, won't it? So, why am I rushing
towards the end? Why am I choosing to pass by my life? I
haven't been patient and I am slowly realizing that I have all
the time I need. I have everything I need. I will put
everything I want on a Life List, and I will expect that I
will someday get all these things if it is meant to be. I will
then surrender the outcome and let go of further expectations.
It took me a long time to structure my own belief system. It
was worth every minute of pain, though. I look at what I have:
a wife who is my true soulmate, everything I ever wished for
and more, two beautiful healthy children, a family, true
friends, and I see those things as my reward.
