The Collateral Beauty in Life...

Sometimes, unspoken truths must be shared in order for the better of the collective conscious. If you find no beauty in life, it's because you can't see the beauty in yourself. There is not one person who doesn't suffer loss; Death, heartbreak, betrayal, poverty, watching someone you love deteriorate as death slowly overcomes him/her. We all walk the same parks, travel to the same destinations, experience people coming in and out of our lives daily and the only difference between us all is self interpretation, self esteem, and self awareness.

Your perspective, how you are processing the information, the people, the situation, these are the factors which determine how you perceive this world and this life. You could be loved by an living angel, but because your past experiences, your addictions, and who you are internally, you cannot see clearly what is in front of you. We all must be able to let go of all the sadness, suffering, heartache, and losses of yesterday if we are to make today beautiful.

Children did this well before modern technology was shoved in their faces as baby sitters. The would wake up gradually tot he light of the sun streaming in through the window with it's awe inspiring warmth. They would taste the air. The crisp of the morning dew or the thickness of the humidity and rise up looking forward to this day. There were no thoughts of the day before and there was no plans for tomorrow. They were simply in the moment absorbing the atmosphere.Fearless on the playground, running faster and skinning their knees along the way.

As adults, we all need to find that fearless child within us who was willing to take risk, who didn't care how ridiculous people said it was to jump from the 2nd story of the house onto a pile of mattresses with a sheet cape. Every heartache should be a lesson in either how great you are capable of loving another human being or how not to give so much to someone who isn't giving back in return. Every failed attempt should be nothing more than a lesson of how that particular way of achieving your goal wasn't quite right. Adapt. Change . Grow bigger and better with every day, with every hour, with every minute in this adventure called life. Let the story of your life be worthy of being a best seller on the shelves of bookstores to inspire millions to live their dreams and overcome all doubts with a happy heart and faith that the next attempt, the next day, the next hour will bring that dream into fruition. Have the heart to live in this playground called life. Who didn't love the monkey bars where there was nowhere to plant your feet challenging yourself to the next area— Be your fantastic selves my friends and I will see you all at the finish line just up ahead...

Give us the baby, not the birth pains.

This was actually beautiful! Thanks. Did you write it yourself?

I am always trying to find the inner child that you describe. Being present in the moment and not thinking about tomorrow

How does that work with finances and that sort of thing? That's where I come unstuck 😅

This was just my morning thoughts. You have to find time to be yourself. To pursue the hobbies and ambitions you want. And if you can find a way to get paid for doing what you love to do anyway, that's when you're officially living your dreams.
