Stop!...smell the ROSES.

Living…or Waiting?

What if you never get everything you want in life? What if you never get that one most precious thing you’ve been asking God for? What then? I can hear someone (or even people) say “God forbid!, I will get it. It will happen” But I ask again; WHAT IF IT NEVER HAPPENS?

Work with me a little. Give yourself a minute. Think about it…think about it really well (remember, this isn’t me trying to wish you evil or as they say, ‘swear for you’)…have you thought about it? Ready?...okay, let’s gist.

Every human being wants something, in fact, we never stop wanting till we die; A new height to reach, a new mountain to overcome, a new goal to achieve. But for every human, there’s always that ONE NEED that surpasses all others. You tell yourself “when I get this, then I’m absolutely fulfilled. I’m complete” (And no, I’m not talking about the need to be closer to God. Let’s not pretend).

That ONE NEED/WANT? That’s the one I’m talking about. It’s that thing you’ve been praying and hungering for, we all have it (Myself included). It’s that thing you’ve put your life on hold for. You're absolutely focused on it.

Yeah, you wake up every morning and go through the motions of living, but ARE YOU REALLY LIVING? Or are you subconsciously waiting to have ‘it’ and then boom! Life’s a party!

If you’ve been stuck in this zone, PLEASE WAKE UP!  What if you never get it? Will you live the rest of your life not enjoying your life? Not having fun? Not stopping to appreciate the beauty of the roses around you, but ALWAYS thinking about ‘the one thing’ which will make life better, that will make you ‘complete’?

Okay, let me flip the question; What if you get it and realise it’s not giving you the ‘completeness’ and ‘total joy’ you thought it would? What then?...think about it…think about it really well. Take a minute if you need to. It feels like a total disappointment right? Imagine you’ve spent the major part of your life on this journey to seek ‘The Thing’…phew, bummer.

You see,  Happiness? Satisfaction? It starts with you. It begins with your perception about yourself. It starts with you looking inwards. You might not know it, but that ‘one thing’ you need so badly is simply How to love yourself, How to live and appreciate your life to the fullest, irrespective of what you have or don’t have (or who you have or don’t have). If you’ve been putting your life on hold, waiting till the situation is perfect, then you’ve been cheating yourself and it’s not fair on you.

There’s so much more to you than the cage you’ve put yourself in. There’s so much of you, you haven’t explored/experienced yet. You’re more than you think you are, you’re more successful than you think you are, your life is more beautiful than you think, you’re the envy of many around you (and you don’t even know it! Ha!), you’re better than this, you’re a warrior, stop behaving like a victim of life! Put on your boxing gloves and punch the joy back into you!

 WAKE UP!   LIVE!    SMILE!    BE HAPPY!   STOP WAITING!    START DOING!

Happy New Month Darlings!

Have a most exciting Week!
