Live Life with Gusto
Let’s make it a plan to live life to the fullest, love beyond measure and laugh from our toes up. We’ve been given a time released gift that covers 24 hours. What are you going to do with it? One more thing we need to remember: This gift will pass before you know it… and once it’s over, it can never be found again.
Value YOU!
Make sure you don’t start seeing yourself through the eyes of those who don’t value you. There will always be those who don’t see the wonderful person you are….either because they’re jealous, insecure or full of unhappiness themselves. Know your worth even if they don’t. And most of all, hold onto it!
See What Develops
“Life is like a camera. You focus on what’s important, capture the good times. Develop from the negative and if things don’t work out take another shot!” Great words to live by. Focus on the important and capture the good times…grow stronger through the negative things that come into your life but ALWAYS get back up and take another shot! ALWAYS!
Let Them Talk
Don’t worry about people who talk about you behind your back. That’s why they’re behind you and not ahead. God knows the truth about who you are. And He also knows the heart of the one who is coming against you. So what do you do when people keep talking? The Bible says to pray for them! Let God continue to move you forward in your walk with Him…and let those people keep talking. They have no power to make you feel bad unless you let them.
Love yourself
This should be a LOVE post since this is Valentine’s day…but it’s a different kind of LOVE post. This is about loving yourself…the person God created you to be with all your faults and failures and quirks and wonderfulness. You were born to be an original. So, for Heaven’s sake, don’t die a copy. There’s nothing more beautiful than someone who realizes how great their uniqueness really is and then runs with it. God took great care in creating you with all your talents and one of a kind-ness! So LOVE you today…then you can love others that pass through your life.
No Regrets
In the end, the only thing we will regret are the things we didn’t do. My dad had a favorite saying that stuck with me…don’t get to the end of your life and look back and realize you never took time to “live”. Of course, being a florist, he also loved to tell me to take time to smell the roses. I think he was right on both counts!
