It Is A Real Gift
Never Waste It!
“Don’t let the sadness of your past
and
the fear of your future
ruin the happiness of your present”
Live in the moment!
Make those happy memories today.
It is only natural
to think about our past
but we mustn’t dwell on it,
because we will miss out
on so many nice opportunities today.
When we have control of our lives now,
we will look forward to our futures.
By living ‘today’,
we are allowing ourselves
to heal from wounds in our past,
replacing these with happy memories
to one day look back on.
Whilst it is true
that no one can ‘see’ the future,
by keeping control of our lives today,
we will have confidence in ourselves for the future.
Choose to live in the present
and you will find joy.
Life today is a gift
so never waste it
by constantly thinking about the past
or worrying about the tomorrow.
Let’s really appreciate this gift of life now
and
bring happiness, joy and ‘sunshine’
into our lives.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
