The definition of our lives is dependent on our ability to capture the multiplicity of opportunities which lie before us. Every day is like a new page in the chapter of our lives, every day is so important to really live rather than to take a casual flippant attitude towards letting it slip by. Our lives are comprised of years, and years comprised of what we do with each day. We all should be so wise to not let one day just slip by without making a difference in our own lives.
How do we make a difference in our lives? We make a difference by deciding who we are, choosing to live a more refined life by resolving to enhance the life of every person we meet. We are to look upon each person we encounter as the most important person in our lives at that moment, and upon doing so we truly impact them with our presence. When we are blessed to hold an infant child, every morsel of our attention is placed upon that baby because we want the child to feel loved and special. In the same manner, if we choose to exhibit that level of caring to others in our life, we impact them, as well as ourselves.
After holding a baby, it changes us. It is not uncommon after a woman holds a baby that she tells everyone she meets the remainder of the day, guess what I did today? ….I held a baby. So, the idea I am attempting to impress upon you is treat every person you meet as that special baby, and then see how your life is influenced by others. And you will also be influencing others as they you.
Truly our life is greater when we realize and embrace the notion that it is the relationships in our lives which allow us to live an enhanced life. Obviously, we may not have a genuine connection with every person we meet, however if we are sincere in our reaching out and remain true to our cause, we will know the difference. The difference is vastly more important to ourselves as it is our life we are attempting to always enhance.
Today, notice the sunrise and sunset, be unafraid to gaze into the eyes of those you meet, look into the windows of their soul and take note of their persona. Be faithful to yourself, take a walk and pray for others, and in your mind list everything of which you are grateful. Decide to love yourself, and realize that God placed you on this earth to make a difference, and without reservation choose to be that difference in the life of one person each day. Simply compliment someone, write a note, take a friend to lunch, maybe ask another how they feel.
By the way, it is okay to live without reservation. When we have the urge to make a positive remark or compliment, and we choose to rather not say it and keep it to ourselves, we miss out on expressing our true selves in that moment. It is better to be yourself and live a more extroverted life rather than to live in an internal world which causes one to miss out on real living. Do not hold back! Live how you truly want to live, this is your life now… you are the master, remember that and take action!
Decide to be a lover today, love God, love your life, love others, love what you do, and above all choose to really live and not miss out on one opportunity to be your most expressive and creative self, and your life will change. Live Brilliantly!
