Live

"Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it's too late."

Mary Kay Ash

I love this quote because I believe this happens to often to so many people. For example, my mother lived her entire life for other people. She didn't get to do the things that she truly loved, or experience life outside of her environment. She allowed other people to dictate her life, and she got lost in the shuffle along the way. By the time life allowed her to be herself... it was to late. She didn't have the energy, the desire, or age on her side to pursue her dreams.

I myself have been guilty of drifting certain times in my life - living day by day, but not really living. I've worked jobs that I allowed to consume me to the point of where I wasn't enjoying the little things that I'm blessed with each day. However, over the years I have learned to live my life to the fullest, while being thankful for each day that God has blessed me with. Hey, if I wake up in the morning that's a great thing, and something to be thankful for. I owe it to God and myself to make it the best day that it can possibly be.

That's how I live my life... as I've always said, " I'm leaving this world with no regrets. "

I know it's easier said than done, but don't let life consume you to the point that you become lost in it. Because when you're finally ready to enjoy it.. it just might be to late. CM
