We all only get one chance to live a life...No one else will live it quite like you. Out of the billions and billions of people on this planet your life stands on its own - completely unique.
No one will ever completely see things as you see them or feel as you feel.
However, you'll meet people who come pretty darn close. Cherish them always - for through them you will learn more about yourself than you ever could alone.
You'll most likely encounter an amazing and intense feeling people call LOVE. Count yourself lucky and blessed! Remember every moment. There has never been and will never be another who will experience it exactly the same as you.
There will be days you feel like you are flying. Remember what encouraged you to spread your wings.
Trust me, when times get hard you'll need to remember how to grow them again.
Don't worry, you'll always find them because soaring is in your soul - it will always be part of who you are.
If you are fortunate enough to have children in your life, cherish them. Share your perspective. Chances are there is no one else who can touch their hearts quite like you. They need your love, guidance, perspective and laughter. Even more important, they don't have to be your own.
Somewhere in the everyday of this life REMEMBER that there is no one else who can capture your experiences. It's up to
Remember... time is short - technically we don't even really know how much of it we each have left.
Go out and capture the moments while you can. Share how you see this beautiful and wonderful world.
Show life through your lens.
Through your words -
Through music that blooms from roots planted deeply in the most fertile soil of your soul -
Forget that nagging voice in your head that says, "Not yet, it isn't good enough," because your work has more meaning than even you can see in this moment.
Today is the day - do something to share your view on your one and only wonderful life. Because when it comes to living, breathing, loving and sharing - there's simply no one else that can take your place.
Amen to all that. :)
