Get Excited About Life!
Why does it seem like it's so much easier for us to worry about the outcomes of life instead of getting excited about them? Worrying takes so much more energy, yet we seem to do more of it. Is it really that much easier to complain and focus on the things that aren't "right"?
I have decided that it makes me feel much less weighted down and much happier if I just become excited about what is yet to come; the great promises of life. When I go to bed each night, I have become more thankful for the things that I do have and the things that I don't. Why? Because maybe, just maybe, I don't need the things that I don't have and they are not part of the larger plan for me.
I am excited about what life has to offer, not what it doesn't have to offer. Each day brings on new meaning, new opportunities, new grace and new dreams.
There are great things in store for all of us. Sure, life has challenges and set backs but how much more great is it than it is not?
If I sit down and begin to make a list of all of the great things in my life and the things that may not have been so great, the great things will definitely outweigh the not so great. That gives me reason to be thankful and even more reason to be excited.
I'm excited about waking up tomorrow! I'm excited about seeing the sun rise and shine! I'm excited about reaching some goals that I have set for the summer! I'm excited about working out! I'm excited about planning new things for Surrounded by W.E.L.L.N.E.S.S.! I'm excited to sit and chat with God each day! I am just excited!
Life is this big thing that we have been given the opportunity to live. There are hills and valleys, good times and bad, tears and laughter... It can be a great big 'ole roller coaster ride at times and you may just want to get off. See it as a journey of learning, growing and changing.
Enjoy the journey for all that it brings; the strength that it gives you when times get rough. Be excited about your travailing through the storms. Be excited about your growth. Get excited about hope.
We only get one life to live. So, dust off your worry, leave your anxiety behind, wipe away your negative thoughts and GET EXCITED!!!!
Enjoy the best that life has to offer! Start tomorrow with a smile on your face and excitement in your heart for what the day will bring.
