Life is like a box of chocolates.....

Yep, I'm still thinking about chocolate. hehe no I've actually been thinking a lot about life.....and there's a LOT to think about!!

When I was young I had so many dreams and aspirations about what I wanted to do and how I wanted my life to be. We all do but as you get older your experiences change, not only who you are but, how you view the world. It is not always how you thought it would be. At forty I thought I was so knowledgeable about life and about myself. I was happy with where I was in life and who I was as a person. I thought I had it all figured out. I felt strong, centred and I loved being forty. I knew everything!! I knew why I had made the decisions I did and I could pinpoint how I had gotten to be where I was in life. However life can be a long hard road sometimes with many potholes along the way and I hit a pothole just last week. Well it was actually more like a crater. So.... nearly two years on I am still learning and will continue to learn for as long as I am breathing. I have been doing some soul searching, digging deep and trying to think positively. Today I came across this little gem which I wanted to share. Enjoy x

"This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching tv. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop overanalysing. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Life is simple. Open your mind, arms and heart to new things and people. We are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often. Getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunites only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them. So go out and start creating. Live your dream and share your passion. Life is short."
