Your life is a gift. A precious and beautiful gift. From wherever you believe your life came from know that it is a very special gift. And if your life is a gift then so are you. You must begin to see yourself in that light. It is not something you should wait for others to tell you or prove to you. It is something you should just know and believe. Even if that belief defies everything you have ever been told or experienced. Even if that belief does not correspond with your current circumstance. You need to know that you are a gift, you have always been and you will always be.
So what does that mean for your life right now?
It means everything. It means you should start your day with gratitude. It means that you should greet each person you meet with warmth and compassion. It means that smiling should become your new thing. It means that you should not take things or people for granted. Having the gift of life carries with it a huge responsibility, you are to be your best, give your best and ultimately live your best life. I know you’ve heard that one before but it is always true. Attempt. Each day. To live your best life.
I encourage you…
…to use your gift. Love every minute of it. The good. The bad. The ugly and even the WTF?! I am so serious. Life’s short. It can be over in an instant. Will you have done something special – at least 1 really special thing? How about 5 really special things? Will you have changed a life? Saved a life? Did you help enough? Give enough? Love enough? Laugh enough? Do they all know how you feel? Did you do what it took to make it happen? Were you brave? Did you give someone courage? Strength? Did you care? Respect? Appreciate? I really want you to think about this every day. Because this matters. This is truly what matters. If you don’t know this now, I am happy to be the first to tell you: how you love people {including the ones you picked, the ones that picked you and total strangers}, how you love yourself {all of the awesome that is you!} and how you love all living things {nature, animals…} is what this whole big beautiful thing is all about.
In a nutshell…
YOU ARE A GIFT
SO IS EVERYONE ELSE
PLEASE LIVE ACCORDINGLY
Light & Love,
Alicia.
