Make A Positive Change

 

As I sit here pondering my life, I realized that all I have left is my future. My past is behind me, and I cannot change anything that has happened in my past. The way that I react to my present, will build the model of my future.

A young lady on “America Has Got Talent” 2021, sang a song that she wrote, and told us about here struggle with Cancer, and told us she had a 2% chance of living, touched everyone, when she said “You can’t wait until life is easy, to decide to be happy.

On February 19, 2022, Jane Marczewski, (Nightbirde) died at 31 years, after a 4-year battle with Cancer.

As I build that model, that will ultimately become my future, I need to proceed with gratitude and humility. I need to reflect upon that 31-year-old soul that was snatched from this earth, just as her career was exploding. I need to reflect on her smile, her peace.

I want to quote as closely as I remember the words as she expressed her deepest feelings: “I have a 2% chance of survival; But 2% is better than nothing, and I wish people knew just how great life really is”.

I have lived my whole life with chronic pain, and in debt most of the time, and “Luck” I did not have any. In other words, I lived my life, the way I told my body I wanted to live. I concentrated on my pain and debt and that is exactly what I was attracted to.

I have decided, and put it down in writing, that I will no longer live for pain and lamenting all the things I do not have, but I will live a life of gratitude and health.

Mankind is so concerned about, what people are saying, and doing, that they have lost, the ability to self reflect. They don’t understand that what dislike in someone else is a characteristic in themselves that they dislike.

Before you, put your mouth in gear, to belittle another person stop and think. You and they are human beings. We all have a path to follow, and you don’t know where they have been. All you know is that they are merging at the same crossing as you, now.

Now, is all we have, our past is history, and our future has not happened yet, but how we react in our now will mold our future.

When you start feeling sorry for yourself, take a walk through a children’s hospital and see how well off you are. This will put a different perspective, on your situation.

Always be “Grateful”, Always be “Humble”, and Always, Graciously and with Humility, accept a compliment.

Smiles, like Yawns are contagious. Choose to be happy, don’t wait for life to be easy. Don’t live in your past; you can’t change it. Your future has not happened, so, all you have is now, and the way you react to your now, will determine your future.
