Life is Beautiful

"Life is Beautiful. But its complicated, we barely make it. WE DON'T NEED TO UNDERSTAND. There are miracles, miracles. Our hearts, they beat & break. STAND - where you are. We let all these moments pass us by. It's AMAZING where I am standing. There's a lot that we can GIVE. It's just ours for a MOMENT... LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL." -Vega4 We live each day with no thought really ever given. When was the last time you realized just the gift it was to live this day, to have this moment. Your lungs are filling with air and your heart is beating... This is a gift. Our life is made up of these simple everyday moments. Have you stopped and realized just how powerful these moments are. Just how much meaning is found in these simple everyday moments? For these moments hold the story of your life. Sometimes life can consume us with sorrow and with happiness. We often don't stop and think. Sometimes we are so busy trying to find our way in life we often don't realize its not about the way or where we are going but more importantly how we are traveling along this journey. I use to believe we all had a life calling but the simple truth is is this living is your true life's calling. Its not about what you do, who you are with, where you are at its about how you are living. How are you spending your moments??? You see when I reach the end of my journey here - I want to find myself saying 'it's amazing where I am standing.' I want to reflect back on a life well lived, filled with mistakes. failures. lessons. growth. heartache. love. tears. laughter. and so much more... I want to stand there completely empty because I filled every moment that I was given with as much life as I had possible to ever give. I want to stand there utterly satisfied with the life I had been given and how I took that gift of breathing & living and made it worthly of having. We are not here to understand. We are not here to try and make sense of things and how things happen in our life. I believe a place far from here is where we find understanding. Here ... we are here to live. to grow. to change. Life is beautiful... it truly is. So make it a point to slow down. to stop and think of the gift you were given to have this moment. Don't waste the gift of life - its moments are something we will never get back. So whatever moment you are finding yourself in ... moments of sorrow. of struggle. of failure. of growth. of change. of happiness. of tears. of laughter. of success. of overcoming. of birth. of death. of love. of heartache. whatever moment you are in. Just take a breath. Take another. and realize this moment doesn't last forever. Know with without a doubt life is beautiful. Sometimes it shows us its true colors and sometimes we have to search to see it... But trust me its always there. For as long as you are here. As long as your lungs are filling with air and your heart is beating... you are being given the gift of living... .. . LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
