Choose Your Way, Have a Good Life!

What direction do you want to take?

What is going to make you happy?
What are you going to do from here?

Are you going to add to all of the mess that the world already has, or are you going to be a prized addition?
YOU have the potential to do great things.

We know there is right, we know there is wrong. At least we should!
What is right? Well, what makes you happy, genuinely happy? What in your life brings you complete peace and happiness? Well not only you, but those around you as well. Sometimes, I think we tend to forget that our decisions affect our lives and everyone else's around us.

....What do we believe in?
What do we hope in?

Too often lately, I have felt those I love around me losing hope in things.

Sometimes, Life is hard.
Sometimes, Life is very unexpected.

...But it is always worth it.

I am a believing woman, and as you will see in my blog in the future, that religion I am apart of stems into a lot of who and why I am who I am. I try to be a good person, but I am also far from perfect.
I worry too much, stress too much, am moody too much, can be ungrateful, selfish, judgemental, the list goes on and on...
The reason I say this is because I am just a normal girl. We are all imperfect.

We are all normal. Celebrities, cooks, lawyers, models, fitness coaches, teachers, parents, children. We are normal. We are all people.  People who have feelings, fears, dreams, loves, inspirations.

But do we have hope to do good and be good.
...Or at least we should.
If we don't have hope, we don't have anything. We can be that good!

Unfortunately, a lot of us can be brought down, and depressed by what's going on all around us.

In this world we live in, it is very easy to get discouraged with all the horrible events that go on daily...the news, the media, kids at school, people in your work environment....it seems like we can never escape the evils, or despairs that seem to surround us.

Heck, if you look at our celebrity "role models" in this day and age, it's not hard to be anything but disgusted, or worried about what the future holds for you and future generations. However, we have to focus on the bright side. We have to hold on to what makes us strong, and be a light in the darkness.

If you turn off the news, entertainment programs, the computer, facebook, stop looking at magazines, or media columns online, you can really sit back and evaluate what is really important for you to spend your time on:

Turn off the news, turn on a documentary.
Stop looking at pointless gossip columns, look at textbooks.
Stop wasting time on the latest celebrity arrest or divorce, start a journal blog about YOUR life; read your friends' journal blogs, or other's lives who have actually made a world of a difference.
Turn off facebook, spend time with your actual family and friends, or make new ones.
Go to classes, learn something new!
Find out for yourself the purpose of your life.
Be happy, and if you're not, get happy!
Love your family, love your friends, and serve them.
Get your degree that you keep putting off for one reason or another. If you have one, put it to use!
Go apply for that job you've always wanted.
Share with the world your hidden talents that each and every one of you have!

Spend your life doing what you love in your life!

Knowledge, love, and happiness are key in our life, and we can be so quick to forget those things with all the noise we constantly deal with.

We can learn, love, create, serve, invent, nurture. We can can inspire, motivate, and dream.
We can do so many positive things. We are given such amazing bodies with so many talents.
We can do our part to make our world and communities, positive and more uplifting. It isn't going to get done if we all sit back in complacency! It's not going to get done if not are not responsible and self-sufficient for ourselves and our actions.
We can do our part to each fulfill our capacity, and live our destiny to follow our dreams to be amazing.
Also, we can help lift up others who at the moment, need a helping hand.

....but we aren't going to get anywhere without aspiration and hope.

Hope is the driving feeling, driving force that keeps us going.

I visited a family in my church, who the father of the family is a family counselor. I asked him how he liked his job, and he responded positively, but also said something along these lines.... "These people I talk to have no drive. They have no central force to keep them going, to make their life worth living, to make them happy. That's why they come to me. It's so sad. I can't force them to have that. They have to learn it on their own."

I was talking to my husband the other day, and he told me this statistic, (studies show): Elderly people are 89% more likely to die within 5 years of their retirement, at 55 years of age than those who work until 65 and retire then. I sat and thought about that... They now have no cement in their life, no foundation to keep them going everyday. Having nothing to live for, leads to nothing at all. They now have no more dreams and goals insight left.

That's why we need hope. We need dreams and goals.
We need to be a leader in so much confusion. We need to step out and be the best doctor, teacher, blogger, lawyer, politician, mother, role model, caregiver, we can be. Do what you are good at. Help others to see that life is good for them too, that they have special talents too.

We need positivity in our lives, we need inspirations and people to look up to.

Do you want to live a life full of regret?

Stop letting your fears, or doubts get in the way, of everything you've ever wanted.

It's not too late, start now, start today. You CAN do it... Even if you start, then stop, then start up again. Don't give up. Never give up.

That's why I started this blog- A dream is just a dream, until it is written down, then it becomes a goal! We can all inspire each other when we learn how capable one another is. I am inspired when I know someone has fulfilled THEIR goal and inspires others from their accomplishments. We are all amazing and have something special to give on Earth. We only live once here. Your life IS worth living.  We are all different with different strengths. Do what you love. Everyone else will love it too because it makes you happy.

You are one in a million.
