Because we don't know what is really important to us, everything seems important. Because everything seems important we have to do everything. Other people unfortunately see us as doing everything, so they expect us to do everything. But doing everything keeps us so busy we don't have time to think about what is really important...to us.   It is our job to find out what is most important to us, and spend more time focused on what matters most.

Life is like a camera. Focus on the important things. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives. And of things don't work out, readjust and take another shot.

The problem with most people is that they get so caught up with what they 'think" is or isn't happening to them, that they fail to see the things that actually are.  It is important for us all to live our lives one day at a time, and realize that RIGHT NOW this is enough. Reflect on the past for what you have learned from it...but do not grieve over it for it is gone. Be careful not to let new opportunities pass you by while you sit idle thinking about the chances you may have lost.  Look forward to what lies ahead of us in the future, but do not worry about it, for it has not yet arrived. Stop wondering about the future - create it.  Life starts NOW, Live in the present, and make it so great it will be worth thinking about later. Instead of just making the best of everyday,  make the decision to make everyday the BEST - it's your choice! Utilize the power of NOW to make a difference in your life. Be the example people want to follow, be the friend no one can seem

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
