Take a minute to stop and smell the roses! √

We live in a world that is so hectic! Most people have a million things to do every day, and often they forget to take a minute to stop and smell the roses.

Enjoy the beauty around you! When you are drinking your morning coffee or whatever you do, take a minute to step outside and look at the sunrise. See the beauty that surrounds us! We are blessed with so much, but we let stress and busy lives get in the way of what we have been given. We have been given life! A beautiful gift! We take it for granted...we complain and some of us decide to throw it away! You are in control of you own life. Embrace it!

There is a song titled 'It's not a Fashion Statement, It's a Death Wish' and the lyrics say "You get what everyone else gets, you get a lifetime!" That is one of the truest things I have ever heard! It doesn't matter what your last name is, if you have one or two parents, if you come from money, ect. Look at Tyler Perry, he was a homeless man and now he is a millionaire. He had a difficult childhood, but he did not let that stop him!

Do some yoga, go walking with a friend, take up a hobby you really love, find things that make you happy and make time for it! We can all do something to change the life we have if we do not like it. The thing is we have to DO SOMETHING! We can't sit by and expect things to change on their own!
