Chapter 8: Feeling the Difference

So in my journy of becoming a more well rounded and positive person I am starting to see some pretty awesome changes in my life.


It seems so simple.
Step 1: Wake up with a smile and tell your self today is a good day and be gracious God has given you another day to live and be with the ones you love

Step 2: Keep that smile on and make the most of what the day is bringing you be it good or bad

Step 3: When shit hits the fan react differently than you normally would and give everyone the benefit of the doubt you dont know what others are going through we all have our own issues

Step 4: Love unconditionally, let people know you are grateful for their existance in your life

Step 5: Keep going when things get rough and know that tomorrow is going to be a better day and bring new adventures, joys and trials

Step 6: Remebering what doesnt kill you makes you stronger (big thank you to my great friend Dave for telling me this) And also remember to take a step back a breath before reacting (big thank you to my girl Bri she is the best!)

Step 7: Do something for some one else just so they feel special and important, you yourself will feel warm inside (its a real feeling and its my favorite)

Step 8: Keep remembering that things could be worse, pray for comfort but also know that sometimes God lets it rain so that your heart can get stronger and grow

Step 9: Give god time, your self time, people time, give situations time, and time time

Step 10: When you have a fantastic day or experience remember to thank God, dont just talk to him when you need him the most, he deserves a thank you when he has blessed your life (:

This all seems so simple but I can say that it has been super hard for me to remember and get through those 10 steps everyday. As I have come to recognise these things I have seen a change in my life. I speak a little kinder, I walk a little taller, I feel a little bit more, I can help others and I can be enjoyable to be around. All I can say is that I am grateful that I have started doing this and I wish I could have started seeing that I needed these improvements in my life sooner I think I would have been able to keep more friends and family happy. But like I love to always say ...

THERE IS NO DAY LIKE TODAY

I am so grateful for my life and the things that are in store for me. I cant wait for the next adventure.
