Well here's something to think about. Mark Twain, way back in the day, was thinking better thoughts than we do sometimes. Way back, when people seemed less 'advanced' than we are today. Well, let's go back in time and bring some of those simple thoughts to our present day! Ready! Go
'Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.'
Mark Twain
Alright, let's get to the meat of this. Life is short. It really is. Day after day goes by and are you happy with it? if you are, awesome!! Keep that sh*t up! If not, maybe it is time to have a little think about it.
Break the rules. If you are not hurting anyone, including yourself, do it! Maybe it is a rule you have put on yourself, or someone else has inflicted on you? Maybe it's something you just never thought you would do? Whatever it is, be harmless and do it!
Oh, good old forgiveness! It can be a tough one, but it is so essential. Forgiving yourself and others as soon as you can is very freeing and rids the body of disease and the mind of messiness. Just remember, you cannot take things on personally that someone else chose to do and you cannot be perfect every second of every day, so why not forgive. This does not mean being treated poorly is something you should accept. Forgive and move on. You may or may not have that person in your life again, the choice is always yours, but do forgive.
The more often you practice this, the better your life will be. Pinky swear.
Kiss slowly. Yes please! What a delicious way to enjoy the connection between you and your romantic partner. Doing this at least every now and then, maybe even more, will ignite the passion and stir up those romantic feelings, so why not? What do you have to lose? Even better, what do you have to gain?
Love truly. Give it everything you've got. If you're only regret in the end is that you feel you gave more - stop regretting.
You won't always give everybody the full meal deal, but when you do remember, gave someone something so beautiful. Maybe they deserved it and maybe they didn't, but in the end if you chose to give it your all you have absolutely nothing to regret. They might though.
Just allow them to go on with their path and you yours. You will be just fine and the next time will be way better.
How much fun do these two look like they're having? A frikin' blast, right? It has been said that laughter is the best medicine, and we would agree! Laugh until you cry every chance you get. Things are funny, people are funny, life is funny so laugh. Lose yourself in the laughter and in the moment. You'll make your way back!
Never regret anything that made you smile. Even if its no longer with you, it made you smile at some point so love it.
Oh this can be a loaded one!!! Literally!
That decision you made to have another, that decision you made when you had another and sometimes just that decision you made without another.
Regardless, it is over and you are moving on. You enjoyed it in the moment so why regret it?
Just don't. No matter how you feel after, celebrate it all!
After all, you can't go back and nobody is perfect. All you can do is make things as 'right' as you can and move on.
Next!
Life can be tough sometimes and at other times so amazing. If you can see the amazing in everything, sometimes that takes a bit of time, you will only be making a better life. Who doesn't want that??
A few things to remember:
1. Explore - there is so much amazing out there to explore!
2. Dream - keep dreaming! Get on it!
3. Discover - your greatest discovery is waiting for you. It may be just around the corner!
And Remember... 'Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.Explore. Dream. Discover.' Mark Twain
