Do you love your life?
I mean do you REALLY love your life?
Not just some parts of it, but ALL of it?
If you are like most people, you probably
love SOME areas of your life, and that’s good.
But if you were honest, and I mean REALLY honest, you would probably
admit there is at least ONE area of your life you aren’t loving.
Maybe it’s your job. You hate it. Driving there every day makes you physically
nauseous. You would love to do something
else, but the fear of the unknown is too immense.
Or maybe it’s a relationship you are in. You
spend more time and energy arguing and fighting than you do actually enjoying
the other person.
Or maybe it’s those 30
extra pounds you’ve been carrying around.
That “one thing” we aren’t totally content or happy with can end up
preventing us from loving our lives.
You don’t believe me?
Think back of the last time you got in a horrible fight with someone you
love. Were you able to concentrate on anything
else? Probably not. Our minds tend to
ruminate on something until there is some kind of closure or healing. Yet so
many of us go through life with so much unfinished business. Our minds are left
to work over- time wondering, worrying and fearing the worst.
Life may not always happen exactly as we would like it to;
however, we can learn to love our lives regardless of the circumstances. Don’t worry, this isn’t another one of those,
“fake it until you make it” speeches.
I’m not one who espouses to putting on a
happy face and pretending as if everything is okay when it really isn’t. In fact, I’m suggesting just the opposite.
Sometimes, we need to wipe those fake smiles off our faces and allow ourselves
to show the hurt, disappointment and anger we are truly feeling. We may need to end some relationships which
are no longer serving us. We may need to find the courage to try something we
know we were destined to do. We may have to finally face those fears which have
been keeping us stuck.
But unless we take the time to truly get to know ourselves,
we may stay stuck and never truly love ourselves or the lives we are living.
This means we need to make time to figure out who we are. What brings us the
greatest joy? What makes us ache inside?
What pain and disappointment have we carried into adulthood? Until we get to the root of all of those
questions, we may struggle loving our lives.
Life is too short not to love every minute of it.
Invest in yourself today.
Learn how to love your life.
