Get to Know You

Our values and our passions. Understanding who we are.

I don’t want to be kept alive, I want to be alive. 

We all need to have passion in our lives. We need a purpose for getting up and getting out, regardless of how we feel or how old we are. Young and old alike need purpose and passion in their lives. We had it once, maybe more than once, get it back, and rediscover it.

I sometimes reminisce about what isn’t. I just don’t stay there too long. I live my life for the most part with what is.  I concentrate on what is in my life, not wasting time on what isn’t.  There is always going to be something more, something missing.

Is it what we need, or is it just something we want. Satisfaction and pleasure are at the moment. It is amazing, we do not have to plan for it, we simply need to feel it. 

Be spontaneous, laugh at yourself, do something for someone else anonymously.  It really feels good.

Our value systems have a lot to do with our higher purpose.  It means we belong to the universe.  To thine own self be true.  

Consider what is important to you?  Again, let me say, life is not a rehearsal, enjoy it. Open yourself to the good things that life can give you. You are deserving.
