"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children … to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better … to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived ... this is to have succeeded!"
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
In this world we will have struggles, we will have days that we'd like to stay in bed, we will have days of no answers, we will have days of unknowns....but the best part about those days is that they won't last forever. Because the next day, the next day will be filled with love, joy, peace, patience and understanding. This morning I woke up with the feeling that there would be a weight on my shoulders of something that I've been worried about for awhile and it didn't take long for that "feeling" to really be true. It actually only took 45 minutes. But what I realized is that I am never given more then I can't handle, I'm never asked to walk through a path that GOD hasn't already laid out and already knows how to prepare me for.
Each day should count for something bigger then ourselves don't just walk in and out of life with out really embracing it. Tonight I get back to work, working on my transformation of my outward appearance....and trust me the inward one is already being worked hard. My body is rested, though a little sore, but I slept well, my mind is focused and I know what I need to do. So back to the gym tonight, back to doing what I must do and knowing that I'll embrace today with open arms, a clear mind and a full heart.
