Life is not a spectator sport. On the contrary, you need to get out there and take the bull by the horns and shake things up! If you don’t do it for yourself, who is going to do it?
I have seen people live their lives with no enthusiasm, no zeal, no dreams, no aspiration and die unfulfilled. Why would you to do that? Often times it’s because no one took the time to inspire or motivate them to become their “greatest” selves. Me, myself I am my greatest motivator! I desire to have something better than what my life was yesterday. I knew in my knower that there must be something more to life than just living. It has to be more than walking around like a robot, being humdrum and just surviving.
But guess what it takes some effort on your part. Amazing discovery I know, but seriously how is your life going to change if you don’t participate in the change process. If you never pursue filling that void, how are you going to know if you ever reach it or not.
Back to what I know best; God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. Okay, so you don’t believe in God, now what? But why don’t you believe? Do you have any proof that He is not real? What would it cost you to seek Him? A better life, a sense of peace, joy when you need it, the experiencing of a love that is so profound that it amazes you? These are the things, the experiences that you can have with God.
Many have passed away never really experiencing life the way that it should be experienced. Sad but it’s true. You know we all have our moments of reflection when we see how fragile this life we have is and it is at those moments that I want to run and jump and be fully embraced in my life. I had such a moment last night sitting in the ICU waiting room, while my nephew was lying in the hospital bed breathing with the help of a machine and tubes coming from everywhere on his body. He is only 18 years old! Fragile! As I prayed over him, I asked God to not only heal his body but also his soul. I asked God to give him a zeal for life that he would never take it for granted, but live it to the fullest potential in God.
You have to be a participant in your life. We can’t all walk around victims of our circumstances or the world would be in a worse state than it is right now. If you have a life, start living it to its fullest potential.

I love the positive tone of your posts. I am learning more and more about keeping an open mind to new experiences always.
Thanks! Trust me, my life has not always been positive, but my foundation in God keeps me grounded and at peace.
