What did you want to be when you were a kid? A scientist? Doctor? Astronaut? Artist? Dog Trainer? When we are young, we dare to dream, explore and do. As we get older, the stresses of life can lead us to be defensive and scared, and we forget how to dream and feel ALIVE! We work long hours and spend little time with our loved ones, and in a blink of an eye, 10 years have gone by.
I decided to write this post as a reminder to all that we need to get our priorities straight so we can live a happy life. Here are a couple of ideas I would encourage you to focus on.
#1. Focus on the present and living in the moment. Stop thinking about the past and future. Itβs a tragedy when you donβt even notice that you are missing out on life because you are so focused on something else.
#2. Spend quality time with your loved ones.
#3. Stop complaining. Instead make SHIT happen! If you donβt like the way you live, change it!
#4. Donβt make excuses! It is easy to set aside your dreams because ofβ¦ well life! Start working towards your dreams, no matter how small it is. A little bit over time will add up to a lot.
#5. Throw out the phrase βI have toβ¦β You donβt have to do anything. Nothing in life is a must. If you donβt like what you are doing, STOP!
Love,
Karen

Hi Karen! Have you heard of Mel Robbins' five second rule for changing your life?
I haven't! Thanks for sharing! :)
Excellent post. Resteemed!
aww thanks! :)
True! Love your post. Appreciate the moments and give moments to your loved ones. Don't procrastinate and worry too much, find ways to do it and enjoy the moment. It will not be a regrettable one. There's no 'you should be...' in life too, it's just about what you want and how you seek for it.
Absolutely, if you believe and go for your dreams, you can manifest and make things happen!

yah that's right.. life is short to have no fun!! make the most out of it :) upvoted your post! :)
Aww thank you! β€
I agree a lot with your points. We spend a lot of our time sleeping and wasting time in our short existence must not be the case so we should spend it in a productive manner, avoiding strife with our fellowmen, pending quality time with our lovedones more and loving our neighbors.
β€ yea couldn't agree more! You take care.

Thank you. No matter our age, its always good to have reminders.
Well said Karen, well said! People tend to forget how to enjoy life, and they just complain that life happens. Well, life doesn't happen, you make it happen.
