Take Some Time....

Over the past couple of days i have been faced with a choice. To enjoy life or don't. Many people have heard of the famous saying "life is short," well what has been said is true. A great role model in my life has been telling me that frequently: my mom. Although, she tells me that many times, i listen as if it is the first time that i have heard it before. There is power in that saying that can make you stop and think about your attitude on life and life it's self. You see, life can be busy; which can cause us to go along with the rush of the day. When we do this, we fail to take some time to reflect on our day. Why should reflection only be on Thanksgiving rather than daily? Due to no reflections, i would complain over little things, rather than see the beauty. Over several complaints and unhappiness my mother told me that "life is short. Enjoy every opportunity and dwell on the good things. Always be positive." Hearing those words brought sudden happiness because i knew that she was right. Why allow unhappiness to take control of my life when i can have happiness. That day, i decided to let positivity be my attitude. I know that life is a gift from the lord and that everyday i live is a blessing. I have decided to enjoy life.

Now the question is : how busy is your life? Do you take some time to reflect on your life or do you leave that for Thanksgiving? When we fail to see the beauty in life we are taking advantage of it. There is another famous saying; "you do not know what you have until its gone." Do not wait until you are on the verge of losing your life; that you see beauty. Start know. Life is short. I have decided to enjoy life. What is your decision?

Take some time...
