What unique and wonderful people we all are, how many times do you praise someone for a job well done? How many times do you encourage someone to take a new path, or make positive changes in their lives? We effect changes in people's lives all the time, but we are not always aware of it, or if we are, we wouldn't acknowledge it, don't you think that this is sad.

How many times do we pass people in the street and think, they look unhappy? But do we take the time to smile at them, even when we are just passing by, no! Why not?

Would we not want someone to acknowledge us, if we felt that we had the weight of the world on our shoulders? Why don't you try it, smiling is very healing, as is laughter, it's easily given away and it costs nothing at all. Everything we give out returns to us ten fold.

We talk about laughter, we have heard before that laughter has helped to heal the body and mind of those in distress, why then do we not laugh more than we do?

Why do we have to be so serious all the time, who say's that we have to be like that, God doesn't, he wants people to enjoy life, to feel relaxed and comfortable and share the wonderful gifts he has given each of us.

There is no need for greed, envy or jealousy, because we are each as special as one another; we are all living a life on earth at this time. It is a special time, a time to gain experiences, to have relationships, to love and have fun and create our lives. As a society we try to make life as difficult for ourselves as possibly, because, we cannot believe that life can be so simple, we think that there have to be obstacles in our path, because we like to go around them, through them and over them, because we feel that we have achieve something when life has been really difficult. Instead of acting in this way why not say, what can I learn from this? Is this for my highest good and the highest good of others?

We work extremely long hours and then we wonder why we are physically exhausted. We like to work every hour we can, because we think we should, but who says that we should, not God. Abundance is there for taking. Are we reaching our full potential by working in a job that we hate, which makes us miserable, but pays well, what's the fun in that?

When was the last time you sang while you worked, or were excited at the prospect of going into work in the morning? Be honest with yourself. Could we not create within our lives something that excites us, and fills us with a sense of purpose, while providing for ourselves, and our families?

We all have so much to offer, to our selves and each other, life does not have to be a drudge, or a struggle it is the most exciting thing imaginable, so why not do something about it?

Be kind to your self, and to those you love, and start to create that life you were always meant to have, and, you will be amazed at how wonderful you will feel.
