life is what you make it

Instead of waiting and looking back on your life and realizing how great it was, realize how great it ~is~ while you're living it. These are the good old days. This is the time to treasure right now. Don't put off your appreciation for today until some time when all you have of it is a faded memory and a photograph. You are swimming in a thick sea of overwhelming richness that is this moment. Wake up to how truly blessed you are to be right where you happen to be. Sure there are frustrations and annoyances, challenges, pains and disappointments. And you have the good fortune of being in a position to transcend every one of them. Stop wondering what life is all about and start choosing what you are going to make it become. Stop waiting for someone else to make it all better and start taking your own steps to make it uniquely great. This can be the best day you have ever known. All it takes is for you to decide to make it so.
