Move Along

Wishing things to be a different way than they are is something that will never complete your life. It will break you down and blind you to the beauty of the life around you. Accepting touch realities hurts you but pressing on and forgetting the past can be necessary. The love you have for the future or for certain people will drown out any hurt that is left. True love never fails either. Don't let the past change the way you see this virtue. View your life as a movie in which every part of it is needed to make the final outcome as beautiful as it is. Move along. Knowing that with love, your life will always be complete.

Encouraging...

"...we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."
~Paul Bowles

"You will never be happy of you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life."
~Albert Camus

What's Meaningful in Life...

Life is so much more than the complicated and stressful situations that you'll face. It is about enjoying and finding the value in every small blessing that you have. Finding the beauty in nature during the different seasons is one of my favourite ways to stay grateful. Watching sunlight reflect off the glassy ripples of water. Or the serenity of snowflakes dancing past your window. Beautiful leaves that flutter from the tops of trees and the rythm of rain plumetting to the ground. It's in moments like these where you will realize the beauty of this world...and how strong and powerful the God is who created it all.

Fight Back

Life is about experiencing all the good and bad times. When something unfortunate comes up, that's our chance to fight back with everything we have. Don't just sit on the sidelines and worry about things...but find a solution to act upon instead. Prove yourself worthy of this life we have been blessed with. Enjoy it and defend it.
