Did you ever?

Did you ever wake up from what you thought was a bad dream and thank God it was not true?

Did you ever open your eyes from an event that happened in your life and thank God it was not true?

There are many days when we wake up from a dream or stop day dreaming and we realize in that moment it was true, it was not a dream.  It was something that happened, something that was real and we did not have the power to turn back time. There are many days when we realize that something did happen and we have to move on.  Not forget, simply move on.  

We have to move on to the next step.  We have to continue on the road that has been paved for us because of our own actions, because of the actions of others.  We have to move onto the next step, no matter how questionable it is, no matter how painful it is, we must move on!

This is not to say we cannot mourn the possible losses we might have suffered.  Whether these losses were lost of life, lost of love of lost of a part of ones self.  We simply have to continue on our journey for the pursuit of happiness.  The pursuit of the next big thing in our lives.  We must continue to take in all life has to offer and accept it is is what we make it.

We must learn the tools to guide us in the direction of happiness.  The direction of self-fulfillment.  What makes us human?  It is the power to feel, to love, to make conscious decisions that will enable us to fulfill our own destiny.   We must not accept what life has been handed to us. We must make our lives the best thing that ever happened. 

We have been given the gift to understand the world and what it has to offer. We have been given the gift to learn from our mistakes and make the next step the best one one for us.  Not to please others.  Not to make others happy.  Only to make the next steps we take the best for us as a person.

How will you live your life so that you are happy with who you are, what you have become and where you want to be?  Live your life everyday as if it is your last.  But most importantly, live your life with ambition and gratitude for what it has given you.  Understand you are where you are right now in this very moment because it is where you are supposed to be.  

Stop asking the why, what if, should of questions. Instead, ask what can I do to make it better the next time, next step better?  What can I do to bring me to the next level of success and self-fulfillment?  Ask yourself, "what will make me happy?"  "What will bring tears of joy to me?"  "What will make me feel complete?"

Remind yourself that you are the only one that can make you happy.  You must love yourself and feel complete as a person first before you can expect others to give a care.  Remember, you must demand respect.  This cannot be done if you don't respect who you are as a person and accept that you yourself has imperfections and it is okay.  

Go ahead and wake up from that bad dream or the event you have just been involved in and THANK GOD for allowing you this opportunity for self growth!  

YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE IN THIS VERY MOMENT BECAUSE IT IS WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE!  WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT NOW!
