Life

I've reached a point in LIFE, not my life but of life itself; to finally accept it for what it is. We all go through issues, breakups, death, marriage, children, endless jobs, weight problems, health, you name it we all go through it. It's all part of life.

I've come to really understand the saying "Everything happens for a reason". I can't really explain why things happen the way they do but for me personally it feels like a chain of links that hold something together. Life isn't about what you have, where you're going, who's in it, whether your skinny or fat if you have friends or not. Life is EVERYTHING that is not important. I don't think people really understand that.

Everything happens for a reason is exactly what is says. You can have the job you believe is great for you then all of sudden it's taken from you. Why you ask? Who knows, whatever the reason is it's for a reason, something else will come or will not come along. If you're changing something for yourself it's for a reason, one thing always lead to another; it's what I call "the chain of life" that NEVER stops. All these events, issues that go on in one's life don't mean anything at all. A new car, marriage, a makeover, weight gain/loss whatever; it won't mean nothing if you don't appreciate life itself.


Appreciate the fact that you have a roof over your head, be grateful for the plate of food you're about to eat, be appreciative to the clothes on your back & the health that keeps your body alive. I am not nor have I ever been one to preach the word of god in blogs or any articles that I write but I want to point out that everyone needs to remember the story of Job & not get caught up in the what society has us to believe that LIFE is grand when you're out overworking yourself for paper money to end up alone & miserable. Money is not happiness.

I've learned a lot the past two weeks mainly because of these events, tragic shootings that occured. Yes, I cried from it dearly. I lost a dear friend, Francisco Rocha & the whole "chain of life" began in my thoughts again. So many things that have been happening & not happening or at a standstill in my life have lead me to believe this. It won't make me lose my faith that better days will come out of life itself. In fact that is the only thing that keeps me going.

Life ALWAYS has a way of showing you how things can & should be. It's up to you to decide the way you want to live it. Never take life for granted, appreciate every minute; even at the times you feel you just can't go on any longer with all the downfalls you go through. Life is not difficult, the way you live will decide it.

Stop worrying about what you're going to wear tomorrow to work or a guy that is not calling you back, when in the flash of a second your life can be taken away. I know it sounds like a cliche, but every moment you wake up, Thank whoever you need to to be blessed with another day of life; it's a gift that shouldn't be taken for granted.
