Create the life life you can’t wait to wake up to. What and how does this look to you? How does it feel? What excites you? What lights you up from the inside? For me, it is about what I can give back and how can I make the life around me better. The phrase there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for has always resonated with me, how about you? Even when we are deep in the trenches of life, there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for. You opened your eyes today is a great start!
As a child I remember not wanting to sleep because I did not want to miss a moment life had to offer me. That wonderment we have as children is often misplaced as we grow through our lives. The dreaded bills start pilling up, hand cuffs come on as I like to call it, and we start focusing on what we don’t have versus what we do have.
It used to be the newest handbag that made me smile and I thought made me happy. Seriously people, my priorities were way outta wack. What good is that 300$ bag going to do at the end of my life when I am greeted by the person I could have been? Will she be standing there with a truck load of handbags and shoes behind her? Instead,I will be greeted by a kind loving beautiful woman, she will be standing there with stamped passports in hand and a smile on her face and in her heart knowing that she lived a life of random motivational inspiration!
This is what lights me up from the inside and enables me to appreciate where I am and where I am going! This is the life I am creating that excites me to get out of bed everyday! We hear this often, we have one life, don’t waste it! Don’t waste it focusing on what you do not have! The 50 hundred bills and the lack of this that and the other thing. I ASK YOU………Who the hell cares? I am not saying don’t pay your bills and make your grocery lists of what you need, what I am saying is be grateful for what you have! Focus on what you have, where you are and what you are doing to make yourself better and those around you!
I get so excited to tell someone when they exceed my expectations or are able to assist me in some way, '“You are my hero, thank you!” How would you feel if someone said that to you? Think about this, we all want to be heard and feel valued. If someone said that to you, would you feel heard and valued? Of course you would. Try it, you will be surprise!!
What are you doing to create and appreciate your life that makes you jump out of bed in the morning?~Shirene
