Life and Its Contents

Life is what you make it.
You can't truthfully say "my life stinks" unless you're willing to let it be that way.

Things happen in life. Stupid things, heart wrenching things, scary things; some things that might have been avoided if you would just try to make a change.

Everything is a choice. Think about it. They're not all good choices...but every matter, every situation, every opportunity, involves someones choice nonetheless. What choice will you make today?
You can't point a finger at someone or something for a thing that you've done or that's happened to you. Remember...you've got three fingers pointing back.

Life is sometimes like a car wreck..................
Say you "borrow" (AKA: steal) your dad's car for a day. Your family is out of town and you thought you might just safely drive down to a friends house for a few hours and then come right back home before your dad gets back.
On the way there you come to a stop sign on your right. Another car pulls out from behind it without stopping like the sign says to do. The car rams right into the right side of your dad's vehicle and you go spinning off of the road.
When a PO gets there with your dad, you say "it's not my fault that crazy driver drove right through the stop sign!"...But in fact...(even if law says differently)...you know that none of it would have happened if you hadn't taken your dad's car in the first place. Therefore, the accident is your fault.

Life is like a rain drop.
The little thing is just barely hanging from your porch rail; getting weaker and weaker until finally...it falls off. You'll never get that raindrop back. Others will fall but that one is gone forever.

Enjoy the beauties of life while you can. Stoop down and smell the roses.
Reach into the thorn bush and pull out a raspberry...it's worth the pricks.

Life is so fast.
One minute you're on your first day of Kindergarten, the next you're watching the video tape.
Those moments need to be cherished. Even if your just washing the dishes or going to a football game you need to realize that even as you breathe your life is flying by. Each breath you take, you're taking one step closer to the end.
We're all dying. In everything we do the clock of life is just ticking away and we don't even know it half the time. We can't stop it either. So are you going to stand there and watch the hands go round'? ...Or will you go do something wonderful while you still can? Even if you're simply picking up some toys in the yard...every moment is special...if that's what you want it to be.
