“It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.”
I am slowly beginning to understand why people have told me that I’ve changed so much over the years. Things have never been incredibly easy for me. Most of it has been my own fault, but I have still managed to wake up every morning and be thankful for the new day that was brought to me. I once was incredibly faithful when it came to believing in “God”. However after some traumas that occured in my personal life I, as the song goes, “lost my religion.”
I wouldn’t consider myself a religious person, but I have developed a spirituality that I am beginning to really start to appreciate more and more. I’m appreciating things much more than I used to, and I feel like I’m starting to understand this little thing called life. I am in no way a very sappy, sentimental person either. This is just something I’d like to share with others.
Appreciate the fact you have woken up in the morning. Not everyone has that privledge. Some can’t even get out of bed to begin with. Appreciate the sunshine. Even the crappiest of weather, just enjoy it. Just cherish every single day like it’s your very last.
Open the door for someone. Take a friend you haven’t seen in ages out to lunch and catch up. Offer your friendship to someone who needs it. Drive that few hours to see a family member you haven’t seen in ages. It could change someone’s life. Trust me I know this first hand. They might not openly tell you how much it means to them, but trust me…it means the world.
I gave someone very close to me some pretty harsh advice recently and suddenly came to a rather sickening reality. I can dish out the greatest advice and people have openly expressed their gratitude for me sharing advice…but I can’t even follow it myself. I want to be and do so many things but the only thing that is holding me back from doing it is myself. That’s it.
I sure did spill my brains this time here. Enjoy.
