Life Is Beautiful
Have you ever found yourself having a really hard day? Well today was one of those days for me. Normally I would complain about my day to anyone who would listen but since I read the book A Complaint Free World by Will Bowen, I try not to complain any more. Instead, I change directions or switch gears if you will to connect with something more positive. What happens next always amazes me. I usually find something that the universe saw fit to put in front of me. I’m even more amazed or proud really that I always pick up on the sign. I just know that it comes at a perfect time and it always makes me smile. What are some of those signs? Sometimes it’s an unexpected phone call from a friend I haven’t heard from in a while. Sometimes it’s an article in a magazine that seems as if it were written just for me. Other times it’s hearing about some unfortunate event happening somewhere in the world that just makes me grateful for what I have. Today’s sign was a poem I found while looking for a WordPress theme for a project I’m working on. The words of the poem spoke to me and the best part is that I heard the message loud and clear. So I thought I would share it with you.
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
– Mother Teresa
