Three C's of life.

You can sit around and complain about your life, or you can go out and do something about it. Too often have I met the person that mopes around complaint about how bored they are or how hungry they are or how they have no friends, etc. I am guilty. Too often in this life, have I realized that people look at what they don't have more than what they do have. I don't like to be thankful just when November comes around. I remember to be thankful everyday, because unlike a lot of people today, God woke me up from my slumber. 

Many people are born into devastation with very little food, and money. Yet somehow, they are happy with what they have. It's not what you have that makes you happy, it's what you think about. You might not have any friends to hang out with today, but at least you have people who do care about you. You might "not have food" when in reality, there are families out there, making mud pies to fill their children's bellies. 

I've met a lot of people who rather complain and not doing anything, than get up and DO something about it. That's the key about life. DOING something. Life isn't going to stop for you. Life isn't going to feel bad for you because you sat in your room all day on the computer. The silly thing is, is that YOU have the choice to change your life. YOU have the choice to try again. YOU have the choice to DO something. The 3 C's of life: choices, chances and changes...You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change. I am so tired of excuses. As my friend Holly has said, "Excuses are like butt holes, everyone has one and they all stink." Every excuse stinks. If you want change, make it happen. If you want friends, make it happen. If you want to go to college, make it happen. If you want to quit smoking, make it happen. There it is, the key. MAKE IT HAPPEN. YOU. MAKE. IT. HAPPEN. I can not stress this enough. There are opportunities all around you. Get out of bed. Go outside, open the newspaper, find a job you LOVE. QUIT what you hate. It's your life. and even though you don't realize it, you only have one. This moment right now, that you're reading this, is NEVER going to happen again. That moment is gone. I know you and I can think about regrets in our lives, but that's the past. It doesn't matter where you have been or what you've done. It's about what you're doing and what you're going to do. you you you. 

Someone young, and very close to my mom just passed away. I attended the funeral along her side to be her rock. After all the tears and  endless snotty rags, she gave me one piece of advice, "don't take anyone for granted". She's right. Don't take anyone, or anything for granted. Life could be gone way before you think it's your time. If you KNEW you were going to die, would you be proud with what you've accomplished? What do you wish you would've done? Who do you wish you would've loved more? What's stopping you now? Your life is up to YOU and your CHOICES. I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.

Stop making excuses that you're addicted or stressed.

Quit.

Stop making excuses that you're lonely.

Get involved.
