With all the problems in my family right now, and the passing of my uncle, I wanted to say something to you all. We only have one shot at life and I think sometimes we forget that we're going to die one day. Make your life count now. Stop putting things on hold and embrace each and every day. Tell people you love them, de-clutter your thoughts, and move forward with positivity in your heart. If there are issues, or problems, that are bugging you, try and resolve whatever you can and accept the stuff you can't. There's so much life out there to be had even with a screaming noise in our ears and brain. The noise in our head doesn't have to define us, or the decisions that we make.
I want you all to get a pen and paper, and then I want you to write a list of all the things you can think of that would totally change your life. Put some thought into it. Write down anything that's bothering you, big or small, or anything you wish you could do/have. Are you unhappy with your career and wished you'd gone in a different direction? Add it to your list. Regret never learning the piano as a child? Add it to your list. Want to be able to paint a masterpiece? You get the point. Maybe you haven't spoken to a friend over something that happened years ago? Pick up the phone and throw out all that negative energy. You will be surprised at the difference; just writing the list alone can make an impact on your mindset. Each small goal gives you purpose, and that's something we all really need to be happy and content. If you go through with this, and find that you actually complete a goal on your list, you will feel a rush of endorphins. A small goal that's met will also lead onto bigger ones because it sets a precedent. The feeling that you can achieve anything you want. An admiral once said, in a great speech, 'make your bed every morning'. If you complete the first task of the day you set yourself up with the mentality to achieve other things.
Don't sit around and wait for things to happen to you, they won't. Poke at life and it will poke back and cause a ripple that could change your entire future.
