6 Keys to Living Fully Before You Die

My earliest encounter with the death of a friend was when an “uncle” I’d grown up around, lost his battle with cancer. I didn’t get to see him but I remember the feeling of insecurity it gave me in my preteen years.

A few years later, I literally came face to face with death, when we had to put our dog, Spots, down after a car accident. Watching the life drain from his trusting eyes, as I held his head in my hands, was not something I was prepared for. Every time I remember that day, I am unable to shake the deep sadness that floods over me.

Are You Stuck in a Mess You Made? So? Start Over!

I’ve messed up in everything from cooking a pot of rice, to nurturing a healthy marriage. What I’m about to say may sound calloused, but there’s no shame in letting go of the past, when you tried but really messed up.

Start over with a fresh pot of rice, there’s no use in torturing your taste buds. Start over in your relationships, once you know you’ve given it your all and you realize that parting ways in love may be the healthiest solution for all involved.

Can your hear it now? “This cup half-full, half-empty bull manure doesn’t help, when I have a real problem. Positive thinking doesn’t help to overcome obstacles that are real.”
