LIFE's Worth LIVING

The JOY OF LIVING...

is different for everyone as some like to feel as though life is OPPRESSING them...  and maybe it is but what is the alternative?

The JOY OF LIVING is not wishing that you have what other people have and then going in debt to try and get there, but to accept what you have and make the most out of it.

I know of a young man who at 19 was charged with murder because he drove the get-away car but did not know what his passenger was planning.  He spent 30 years of his life in prison before being granted parole.

While in prison his attitude was "DO YOUR TIME DON'T LET YOUR TIME DO YOU."

He read books, took courses, learned woodworking, and became an electrician after being released.

He started at the bottom at 49 years of age and did not complain, learned what he could as fast as he could.  Five years later, he had his own crew and was making over $25/hour.

Today, he is a model citizen because he accepted what he had, and someone was willing to give him a second chance.

I understand, not everyone can be like that, but his example, no the crime, is a good one to follow.

We have been given LIFE and sometimes that life is cut short and sometimes we live to 80 years of age and older, many of us now reaching 100 or better.

This life of ours, only happens once...  that we know about...

It is not always going to be perfect nor is it always going to be what we want, but we can accept it and deal with it whatever it may be and make the most of it when presented to us...

BEING POSITIVE IS MUCH BETTER THAN BEING NEGATIVE
