Looking back at life, i realized that i've taken many things for granted. My youth for one.. if i had a time machine i would change soooo many things! Friends and family is another. You see them all the time, and don't realize how important they are until they are gone. Things that I already have, be it materialistic or spiritually.
Life truly is short. If you are under 20.. you won't feel it. I can confidently say that most teens don't realize it and are in a hurry to grow up. Only when you realize you're 29 and about to hit 30; you wonder to yourself where the time flew by.
Everyday is a blessing, everyday is a gift, and everyday you will have to live life. You live once.. why not make the most of the days you have left on this earth? You may have hit rock bottom and feeling like crap.. but life goes on. Time won't stop for you. Sitting on the couch hating life will only decrease the number of happy memories you can cherish.
It's only human to be in a slump once in a while, but pick yourself back up. Do you work 80 hours a week? If working makes you happy.. then i guess that's fine. But remember that time is precious.
This new years, my first resolution is to be happier. Do things that make me smile, and do things that make others smile.
"do things that make others smile"
ReplyDeleteI've learned that, many times, when you make others smile (eg, by giving service of your time/talents/etc), you naturally smile (eg, feel happier/better/etc).
