The Adventure of Life

I watched the new movie called The Vow yesterday and in the beginning one of the main characters explained a theory they have on life that I agree with 100%.

Our life is made up of moments. Little moments that add up together that can ultimately change the course of our life as we know it. Moments we don't realize at the time that will be such a change in our history until we can look back on it later. We all have moments where we crash and burn. Where we fall hard, break new bones, and experience a new low of failure we never previously thought possible. We all have moments where the people we know in our lives make decisions that effect your own in ways you can't control. And we all have these. All these good, bad, happy, sad, hard, life altering experiences ultimately makes us all who we are in that moment in time

What is beautiful to me, is that it is constantly being added to. Like a never-ending scrapbook of pure awesomeness that is all you. And you are its' creator. Being aware of all you've been through and being proud of it should be something all of us experience. Because no one else on Earth has experienced life as you have. That's what makes you unique. And that's what sets you apart to be all that you want and can be. Live with no regrets. Be proud of the pain you've endured for it has made your soul stronger. Be excited for the happiness you've experienced and you'll encounter more through your journey of life.


When you feel defeated, confused, stuck at a fork in the road, change your perspective. Step out of your shoes and live in someone else's and appreciate all that life has done to you. Forgive. Remember. Embrace all of the good, the bad, and the ugly that makes you, you. After all, life as you know it now could end and you may wake up tomorrow in a worse situation than you woke up dealing with.
