We so often fill our days with unnecessary stress and strife by focusing on the negative instead of the positive. We sit around and take part in mean-spirited and hurtful gossip. We spend a lot of time analyzing what others have said throughout the day, and we make mountains out of molehills. We often find ourselves bickering over issues that in the larger scheme of things are inconsequential.
We must put things in perspective because the time that we spend on such pettiness is precious time wasted. Life is short, for we are all just pieces of the earth, from the dust of the earth where we all created. One day we will all return back to the dust. You see every one of us will die, but not every one of us will live. In the end, it's not the years in your life that will count. What will count is the life in our years.
So, we must make the best of the time that we are given. For the future is not promised, so we must seize today and live it like there will be no tomorrow. We must love today day as if we have never been hurt before. We must step out on the dance floor of life, and dance like nobody is watching. We must sing like we are in the shower and nobody listening, and we must live like its heaven on earth. Each day comes bearing its own gifts, and we must untie, the ribbons, open the box and use the gift.
