The Chosen One

Life is beautiful. 

The moment you learn to accept that, it becomes very simple. It becomes clear what you want in life. Every time something bad happened in my life, I whined, I cried and complained - "Why me?"

What I didn't understand is - Yes, it is me. It is me, for a reason.

Today, I am facing a similar situation. I am fighting back tears. I am fighting back the urge to curse and whine and panic. And to make this situation simple and beautiful, I ask "What worser could have happened?".  And I hear in reply - "A lot"

A lot worser can happen. Take any misfortune in your life. And look at what happened after that? You treaded over it. Granted the journey was painful. But you excelled. You lived. You swam back and didn't sink. You emerged. You now understand it was in the grand scheme of things for you.

Why is it important then to think about life as beautiful? Because when misfortunes happen, you wished that you had cherished your life enough before the misfortunes happen. Because memories are what will take you far and make you strong.

The moments you are living right now are not ordinary. They are special. They are beautiful.

Stop and notice and thank someone or something today for making your life beautiful. And then guard those amazing moments for the rest of your life.

It takes courage to be happy about everything. And you my friend, are the chosen one.
