a moment in time

I believe that there is a defining moment in life; a moment of unrelenting, slap in the face clarity, when you are faced with the reality of how all of the the choices you are making are shaping the future you will have. And in that moment you have a choice, stay or go? Look around you, is this the life you want?  Is this the person you want to love? Are you the person you want to be? Who you where meant to be? Is this what you wished for, what you dreamed of?  Because if it’s not, if what you want & what you wished for is something more then I guess the next question you are faced with, is; what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do to get what you wished for, how are you going to change your world? What are you willing to sacrifice in order to make your world everything you ever dreamed it could be. 

Life is a wonderful and terrible & short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive. This is your one and only life, each day the sun will rise and set whether you're ready for it or not. So what are you going to make of the day, this beautiful day you have been gifted, because the clock is ticking & you cant wind it back. You can choose to focus on the things you don't have, the money you don't have, the relationship you don't have, the job you didn't get, you can choose to live in the negative and live your life full of pity & envy OR you can live your life full of gratitude, love and happiness. Look for the positive in every situation, it might be so small that a person who isn't looking for it might miss it, but if you can find it, trust me, it will change you. I think we have lost site of the beauty in life because we are so programmed to instantly jump to the bad. You are not defined by the job you have, the money you have, the car you drive or the clothes you wear. If you are a good person, a good friend, a good husband or wife, father or mother, if you give love & joy to the world; that is what defines you. 

It is never too late to be the person you where meant to be, to be better & do better. So tell the person you love how you feel, quit the job you hate and find a new one, call an old friend and actually go for that coffee, be kinder to others, to yourself. Be happy.
