Well It's 2 days after my 50th and I guess it's sinking in... I AM 50!!!! I decided today that the word for my 50th year would be gratitude. I do my best thinking when I write so I decided to get up this morning and write. I should write more because when I read it back I am in awe of what I said and how I said it. It moves me. Yes, my own words move me. When I read back what I write... I am pretty darn shocked as what came out of me. I think everyone should try it.
My life's word is BELIEVE. I love that word, I think it's a key to everything in life. My belief in myself and my gifts have gotten me this far... How far is that you ask? Well, from a poor small town girl in rural South Ga to a business professional who has had opportunities that most only ever dream of.
So back to Gratitude. I think Gratitude and living as, Tony Robbins calls it, in a state of beauty based on Gratitude and appreciation will take me the distance for the next 40 years. What is the distance? That's just it... I am not sure but I do know that I have a purpose to share with the world that believing in yourself and that you were put here for a reason is my message for people. I am sure that message will expand over time.
TR says there is only 2 states of being. Suffering and Beauty. I agree. We chose what we engage in. We chose with every thought to chose happy, love, anguish, suffering, joy, fear. WE CHOSE. Yes.. we all have sadness from time to time. Life events happen... But we make the choice to continue down the path of suffering or beauty.
I chose suffering for months over the death or a grand child. To make matters worse, I was turning 50 and I chose to suffer over that too for many months. You know what happened? I turned 50 anyway. I made a few people I love suffer too. It's no way to live... suffering that is.
The most beautiful gift we have in life is SUNRISE... and when YOU RISE and begin your day, you can chose to RISE above what happened yesterday. You can chose to begin again, to start over, to make changes. You can choose to RISE to new levels o
f love, happiness and gratitude. Rise up! Will you? I will!
