LIFE

Life...what is it? Mr. Webster defines life as, "the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body." I guess that is correct. It is in the dictionary. But...SHUT UP AND LISTEN>>>Life is more than just movement in a corpse, is it not? Life is great, life is fun, life is sad, life is disapointing, life is too short. Life is a lot of things.





Life is meant to be enjoyed. Not to be enjoyed by foolish living, and a dishonest lifestyle, but to be enjoyed honestly and fairly to others as well. How can you enjoy life if all you do is try and get things for yourself and live for yourself. If you want to live life all for yourself...fine! But just know that you are missing the ship. I know the last blog was all about not worrying about what others think of you, but you still should put others before yourself. WOW! Did he just say that?





Life is a gift from God. Every breath we take is a gift. Soon as you realize this the better off you will be. It is much easier to be thankful in life in all situations if you take a step back and realize that you do not know how much longer you have to live. You are not guaranteed anything more than what is happing in the present, there is no guaranteed future for anyone on this earth. Take every opportunity you have to live life to the fullest. And I do not mean go skydiving and all that jazz. Although that is cool and all. I am talking about getting off your computer for a change and go do something for others. When is the last time you went out and mowed someones lawn that could not do it anymore or the last time you served at your local mission.





So SHUT UP AND LISTEN>>>Life is awesome and fun, but using at least a portion of your life to help others helps you exprience life even better. To see the looks on peoples faces when you help them out will last a LIFEtime.
