Do You LIVE LIFE? Or Do You REACT to LIFE?
Do You LIVE LIFE? Or Do You REACT to LIFE? Sometimes, does it happen that others DON'T seem to understand your pain while they seem to live a HAPPY LIFE? BTW, that is a common predicament and the hard TRUTH is that HAPPINESS takes a lot of HARD WORK and even learning how to live life to the fullest takes a hell lot of stretched patience. I can state this straight to your eyes because I went through this gauntlet📗📘📙
And there's a lot more bagful of not so shocking surprises in life, spelled S-T-R-E-S-S. STRESS comes in many forms, shapes, and colors. And sometimes they creep in, incognito. WHAT's our trick? Once you see that "STRESS", prick it like the party balloons. WHEN we stumble across people who smile in public, many of them would likely have been through every bit as much as people who cry, frown OR scream📌📌📌
As our LIFE IS SHORT [and mind you, we only LIVE ONCE], learning to LIVE LIFE to the fullest is an important step to making the most of every day. But HOW? Words seem easier but let's try it out:- DECIDE what's important to you via PRIORITIES
- TAKE RISKS. Every reward in life carries a RISK
- SHOW YOUR LOVE to the people you care about
- LIVE IN THE PRESENT. Just learn from your past
- IGNORE HATERS. Such is life. Just IGNORE them
- DON'T compromise VALUES if something is not right
Having and keeping an OPEN MIND is important in our daily life. Just because we seem RIGHT about something DOESN'T mean there AREN'T other ways to look at it. Listening to ideas you DON'T agree with OR understand keeps your brain active and healthy. As learning is a lifelong process, we'll continue to learn as long as we STAY OPEN even to difficult conversations. We just should NOT assume that we know everything about another person as they always have more to teach you and us. And to crystallize our words and intentions, TAKE ACTION for WHAT matters to you. How often you hear people say "I HAD THAT IDEA" when someone creates something. BTW, everyone had that IDEA for Facebook first❎❎❎Borrowing this quote from Christian Pastor Charles Swindoll, 'LIFE IS 10% WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU AND 90% HOW YOU REACT TO IT'. So, our takeaway for today is fairly straightforward. What LIFE IS NOT. It's NOT 100% of what is actually happening but just a measly 10%. The remaining 90% of it, it is HOW you handle WHAT's happening, HOW you contain the impact, HOW you react to it, HOW you respond to all the unexpected. Sadly, there is no 'ONE SIZE FITS ALL' solution for this reality in life because every situation will require us to formulate with the best possible containment until you got to get over the hump. Let's LIVE LIFE by living MORE THAN we react to it❗❗❗
