It's Up To Us

We are given a Life

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

"We are not given a good life

or a bad life.

We are given a life.

It's up to us

to make it good or bad"

How many times have we heard this or read this ?!

It is in our hands

to make our lives good or bad,

happy or sad.

Today,

we have so many opportunities

and there are so many ways

to change our lives

for the better.

We need the Courage to just 'do it!'

We may not have

the life we wanted

when we were younger,

but counting our blessings every single day

will keep our minds on a much higher plane (as it were),

giving us that determination to

keep our lives Strong and Happy.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
