What a Beautiful Day

Imagine today is the best day of your life. You have a feeling of serenity and tranquility. Your mind is at peace with yourself. You are free. Your beautiful smile says it all and your eyes are shinning like the sun so bright. What a great feeling? What a beautiful day? This is how life really is if you have the courage to embrace it.

Everything around us can put us down, everyone we meet could make us feel low. But no. Not you. You are the luckiest person on this planet. You have a roof over your head. You have food and water. You are one of the wealthiest people in the world.

Some days we feel low. Some days Life's pressures come knocking at our doors. Everything is happening to us....

Yet if we open our eyes and realize that we sometimes get upset with the silliest of things, our lives will have a whole new meaning.

The fortunes of life have been laid on our tables. We should be dancing and singing everyday. This is our life. We must embrace it.

Create meaning in your life, pass on the goodness, be kind, be passionate, live and let live, love and be loved.

A few years ago I had an accident in Thailand. I was sitting at the back of a pickup van when I was accidentally pushed off by a local friend who slipped whilst changing seats. I remember everything in slow motion and a car that missed me by a meter.

The adrenaline kicked in and as I stopped rolling I ran to the side. Everything after that was blurry. Yet when I awoke next morning, I remember the doctor at the American Hospital say "How are you feeling? I said "Its a beautiful day". I believe that answer came to me in my appreciation of life. (Recently a member of Inspire, shared with me a life sharing story, hopefully he will forward it to you all)

Everything that happens in our live triggers who we are. We can sit down and complain or we can STAND UP and RISE. Everyday should be a beautiful day, everyday can be beautiful, it all depends on you.

Gandhi once said "You are the change that can make it happen".

Have a positive mindset.

Enjoy this beautiful life and most of all remember to make this and every other day, a beautiful day.
