Full of Life

"We may affirm that absolutely nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion." Georg Hegel

There is someone who draws your attention whenever you come into contact with them or something about them. They intrigue you. I have someone in mind that I am so intrigued by. Every time a picture is put up on Facebook I have to go and see the entire album. Their life, their family - they are just so interesting!

Some might think this a little creepy, or interesting, but I just see it as someone that I look up to. I am motivated by this person's lifestyle. Every thing I see that she does I think it is brilliant!

Now, I don't find this too ironic. I think that we are drawn to happy, passionate people. We long to be full of life and excitement! I hope that I am that someone for another person out there. I hope that I love my life to the fullest and give off a zest for life.

Here are some pointers to follow in order to embrace life:

• Appreciate life itself - rejoice in the small things and let people know it
• Seek out new experiences - do something new, fun, and spur of the moment
• Be active - Exercise, play, plan parties, have fun!
• Cultivate beauty - Plant a garden, make a scarf, take up painting
• Reach out to others - Let others know that you are there for them - and be there
• Add spice and color to all your days - Cook, bake, wear a cute scarf
• Lighten up - Laugh more - It's good for you!
• Be thankful for the many blessings in your life
• Never be afraid to be passionate about your faith

Yay! I just made my own mini list of things I must do!
