You are alive and living, so act like it.
Make things happen, learn, love, explore and experience.
When a problem comes along, solve it.
When an opportunity appears, jump right into it.
When conditions change, adapt.
When you encounter beauty, enjoy it.
When you run into hardship, survive it.
Indeed, these things are what life is all about.

Fill every moment of today with positive, purposeful living.
When the challenges come, take them in stride and use your considerable resources to move on past them.
When the joyful moments arrive, savor them with all your being, When you encounter sadness, keep in mind how very much you truly care.

Don’t hide in the dark.
Dance in the light!
Say what you think.
Follow the dreams that define who you are.
Let the world know you are here.
Feel the wind in your face.
Let true joy infect your heart.

Today is a day for being fully alive.
Why in the world would you want to spend it any other way?
Get up, get out and get busy filling this day with a richness of living that is your very own. Ralph Marston

CHALLENGES

“One of the things that fascinates me most about life is the way it constantly presents us with challenges. It doesn’t seem to matter how much education we have, how rich we are, how attractive we may be, or how many friends we have… life has a way of making sure that everyone gets their fair share of doubt and confusion and struggle.

It’s actually kind of beautiful when you think about it. I mean, here we are just minding our own business and from out of nowhere comes a perfectly designed problem or difficulty that has the purpose and potential to make us stronger, wiser and more compassionate - (whether we like it or not!)

So maybe the best course is to courageously accept these challenges and perhaps even ‘embrace’ them. And keep in mind that a force, this loving, could only have our best interests at heart.” Ron Atchison

“What you think, you create: What you feel,you attract; and What you imagine, you become.” Joseph Murphy

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” Helen Keller

Letting Go

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you, let them walk.
Don’t try to talk another person into staying with me, calling me,
caring about me, coming to see me, staying attached to me.
I’ll hang up the phone and let it go.
When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to someone that left.
People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are
not joined to you, you can’t make them stay….Let them go.
And it doesn’t mean that they are a bad person, it just means that
their part in the story is over.
And you’ve got to know when people’s part in your story is over so
you don’t keep trying to raise the dead.
You’ve got to know when it’s dead.
You’ve got to know when it’s over.
And if it takes too much sweat I don’t need it.
Stop begging people to stay. Let them go.

If you are holding onto something that doesn’t belong to you and was
never intended for your life, then you need to…….LET IT GO.
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains, LET IT GO.
If someone can’ treat you right, love you back, and see your worth, LET IT GO.
If someone has angered you……LET IT GO.
If you are holding onto some thoughts of evil and revenge, LET IT GO.
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction, LET IT GO.
If you are holding onto a job that no longer meets your needs or talents….LET IT GO.
If you have a bad attitude…. .LET IT GO.
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better….
If you’re stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him……LET IT GO.
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship. …LET IT GO.
If you keep trying to help someone who won’t try to help themselves,LET IT GO.
If you are feeling depressed and stressed…. LET IT GO.
Let the past be the past. Forget and forgive the former things. LET IT GO.
Get right or get left…….think about it and then LET IT GO.
