It’s a blessing to live life. For life itself was made to be lived. So many people live a life that they don’t want, forgetting just how precious life truly is. Many people are breathing everyday but forgetting to live.
Lots of people hate their jobs, or hate their past, or hate where they are in life right now. So many people make excuses when it comes to change or choose to live in misery. Sometimes people forget to smile, feeling like there’s no reason to.
That may very well be their mentality. But that’s why we all were created. We’re made to help one another. We’re made to love and love on others. Making someone smile can go a long way. You never know what people are battling within so it’s important to pay attention to those you love.
Make it your business to make someone smile sometimes. Don’t know how you can make that happen? I was on rethink.com and I found a few suggestions.
