How many of us dream and do nothing about those dreams, which make us smile. I was just talking to a friend who told me about a 90 year-young-man just diagnosed with cancer. He is feeling good at this moment and is now living his life to its fullest. Why do we wait until we find out we are going to pass before we start to live? I’m a VERY spontaneous individuals. When I want to do something, I tend to find a way to do it. Some call that unstable (I’m totally laughing), while others call it brave and are a tad jealous they don’t have the courage to live their life dreams. I have even worked three jobs so I could do things on my bucket list.

Inspirations keep us on our toes, or they should. When we are inspired to do something….find a way to get er’ done. I find inspirations important to write down. I believe if you are inspired by something, it must mean you have a desire to live out that inspiration. Make a plan using baby steps and accomplish your inspirations.

Love yourself…no one can love you as much as you can love yourself. We all need to see our worth, and we are all worth millions (if not more.) Sometimes finding our worth means to take a step back and look in the mirror. Do you love what you see, if not…What is it that you are unhappy with? Figure it out and make a change. Others can love us, but we truly need to love ourselves so we can shine brightly onto others.

Be true to who you are. Oh I know how it is to look at someone’s life with envy, just as that same individual looks at other’s lives with envy. I believe we should never try and keep up with the Jones’, but we should live the life we can without jeopardizing our financial stability. Live within your means, or work harder to full-fill the life you desire.

Learn from discomfort. Can you imagine if life was easy…ok, maybe that would be a great life, but would you learn anything if everything was easy? Would you understand the meaning of the word “struggle?” When we become uncomfortable, we start to question ourselves why we are uncomfortable. We then learn how to adjust our life to be more comfortable and desirable. Life will always hand us uncomfortable situations, smile and learn from them.

Follow your intuitions. Yes, listening to our intuitions help us avoid unpleasant life situations and/or relationships. Following your intuition means you are not asking others for their opinions, but following your immediate gut instinct. Sometimes your intuition may not feel good right away, but later on…you will understand why you followed your intuitions and smile or learn from them. Follow these steps when following your intuition…. Take a deep breathe, listen to your heart and head, take another breathe and move forward with your best path.

I’d like to end today’s blog by stating…You are never too old to start a new! As I began this post with the 90-year-young gentleman learning his time on earth was coming to an end and then he started living as he pleased and what made him happy. You can live the life you desire at any age. You can quit a job you have been at for twenty plus years and start a new career, you can move to a place you’ve always wanted to and start a new and healthy life, you can do anything you set your mind to….You just need to take control and live it with such joy in your heart. A positive mind leads you to a positive and fulfilling life.
