"The fewer rules the better."
When it comes to the rules you have about how life should be or how other people should behave, the less you have the easier it is to be happy. Why? Because, when you cease to impose unrealistic expectations on people and on life, you not only reduce the likelihood of disappointment, you also let go of unnecessary stresses and false demands.
Instead of always trying to channel life, ease up and go with the flow. Enjoy what comes your way. Try your hardest to accept people as they are and try not to force them into your own mold. Celebrate their individual differences.
Greet life's surprises with joy and excitement, and you'll end up with a more fulfilling life than was ever written in the rules!
©Jane Powell  As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back. Your beautiful destiny This is truly a beautiful thing you have, this life. Open yourself to the wonder of all that is, right now, and feel the richness. Look beyond the narrow concerns and obsessions. There is so much you've never even considered that you can now know and experience. Carry with you all the goodness and love you have ever known. Accept and fulfill the new opportunities to make even more. Let go of judgments about what should have been and taste the immense value of what is. Feel the extraordinary substance of the good fortune you have in being here now. Follow your heart, give your love, and act to bring life to your dreams. Of all the countless days there have ever been, this one is yours to enjoy right now. The best of life's possibilities are here right now too. Embrace them, follow them, live them, and fulfill the beautiful destiny that is to be who you truly are. Ralph Marston |
