Living In the Moment

"DON'T ASK YOURSELF WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS, ASK YOURSELF WHAT MAKES YOU COME ALIVE - AND THEN GO DO THAT, BECAUSE WHAT THE WORLDS NEEDS IS PEOPLE WHO ARE ALIVE" I am not sure if it was the handwritten quote or the vintage look of the photo that caught my eye, but I needed to post about it this week. This quote had me sit back, and really think. Read it again. Take it in. If we all did what makes us come alive, we would be living in a very content world. What makes you come alive? Do it ... Do it now ... (I wish I knew where this quote originated from, so I could give it proper credit.)

When I first read this quote, I knew I needed to put it into a blog post. It seems we hear so much negativity these days, that hearing kind words is like music to our ears. I can barely listen to the news while they report on such upsetting topics. A simple, "Good Morning" and/or "Have a great day" can turn someone's day around. When was the last time you gave someone a compliment? From the lady at work, commenting on her new hairstyle - To the bank teller you see week after week, telling her how much you like the shirt she is wearing.It sounds so easy - So why do we not do this more? When was the last time someone gave you a kind word?
