NOW!

"One of the most tragic things I know about our human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of magical days to come. What about the magical day you're living now? Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy! - Jordyn Pebbles

It is interesting how unique our lives our and yet for some reason we spend most of our lives trying to fit in. Remember how great you are as a creation and don't just be yourself... be your best self!

I remember the days when Monday morning came I couldn't wait for Friday night. Even if I had nothing planned. The mere fact that I was not enjoying life. I didn't like waking up and going to do what I did not enjoy. Ask yourself... do you start your week off waiting for the weekend? Because you may be starting your life off waiting? To be able to develop an everyday weekend is the ability to design your own life worth living. When we were children we knew how to dream of great adventures... as we have grown old we have turned our dreams into wishes and we have forgot to live. Daily people wake up and go off to do something they hate doing. Things that consume their energy and strengthen their misery of living.

We walk through our days without making decisions only to say "we'll, maybe something better will come along". The reality is, those that have something better... they ceased the moment... they live their life choosing to live and instead of waiting for something better, they make the best of what they have now. This feeds an energy within that allows one to increase in happiness exponentially.

As a friend discussed with me recently his desire to change and to have hobbies again, he told me of his recent snowboarding extravaganza. He said paraphrasing "on the way up to the resort I didn't even wanna be there... I wanted to go home. Yet once I got up there and was with friends and experiencing I had so much fun." Often times like in this situation our habitual protection thinking says "NO! What if something BETTER comes along and we miss out cause we were freaking doing something else"? Subconsciously, whether one realizes this or not, it is happening. It is your own self restricting you from increasing your life worth living. It has never been anyone else or any one event keeping you from joy, It has only been you.

We are here to live, to love, to laugh, and to enjoy. So start today by disconnecting from the distractions and connecting with life. Life is greatly increased with the energy of others added in. And remember... "Being yourself is not enough, you must be your best self". Neil Strauss
