Life Is a Gift

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If we get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes our life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Today before you say an unkind word.
Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food.
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife.
Think of someone who's crying out for a companion.

Today before you complain about life.
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children.
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep.
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive.
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job.
Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another.
Remember that not one of us is without error and we all answer to the Divine.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down.
Put a smile on your face and Thank God you're alive and still around.
