03/06 - Ahh, signs.

Today's bad: woke up sick and exhausted. Barely made it out of bed. Don't want to work.

Today's good: I was likely not going to have any until I went on Facebook and saw a post by a friend which I'd wanted to share, but apparently he doesn't allow it. Since it's so odd to see that at this moment, I'll be posting it here, as I think anyone can benefit from the message:

People. We're the best... and we're the worst.

Sometimes we're at our best and totally rock this world... and other times we totally suck and tear the place apart.

It's life.

We're all people sharing this planet. Some you love... some you hate. Some try... and some don't.

It's life.

One of the things I've learned in this life... is to always try your best and to do good. It doesn't always work out. Sometimes it's even downright frustrating at times.

It's life.

That doesn't mean that life will forever be hopeless. It just means that we need to learn, try even harder and do more good.

Will it make a difference? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

One thing I do know... no matter how hard, troublesome, stressful, down, impossible life seems to get... NEVER GIVE UP!

There can always be hope with the next step. Lift your fears, raise your will and try to take that next step.

If you fall... do it again.

Why?

Because.

Because even if you feel you never live life the way you WANT to... that doesn't mean that you still can't TRY. Never think that it's not worthwhile or that it is obsolete. LIFE ON THIS EARTH IS A JOURNEY AND IT IS PRECIOUS.

Enjoy your journey... even if it means enjoying the small and simple things. Those can still add up to something special in ways you never imagined. Just never stop shooting for the stars.

You never will know what actions you make in your journey that could affect you, your family, friends... or the generations of our future!

Could be something little or could be something big. Could be something that touches one person or something that touches billions. Could be something that betters our world or betters the universe.

You are a person. You have worth. Even if you don't know what it is. It might take your lifetime to discover it or you might not ever know.

It doesn't matter. Just try.

Why?

It's life!

Go make it a good life. Make it the best life you can. Share it with others the best you can. Just try and the rest is history.

Now go out there and live life.
