When most people reach the twilights of their lives, they will tell you it's not about having a bigger house or better job, or about the car they drove or the clothes they wore. They will tell you it was all about investing in themselves and their relationships with other people. How many times have we heard people say with regret, "If only I would have taken better care of myself.... if only I would have have spent more time with my family and the people I love." That does not have to be you. Loving your life is being willing to make changes, to let go of old ways and unhealthy habits so that you can be the best you can be. It's about having the right perspective and understanding the value of who you are and what you have.
It's learning to love others and learning to love yourself so that you can get more out of your relationships. It's about recognizing the gifts that God has given to you and making the most of these gifts.
Ultimately, loving your life is about discovering the greatness that is inside of you and the influence you have on the world around you. You will be amazed at the impact you will have when you tap into those treasures within.
No matter where you are today, you have the potential to have better relationships, to increase in confidence, to overcome obstacles, and to celebrate the life God has given you. Perhaps some unfair things have happened in your past, but those things don't define you and they don't determine your future. It's not what happens to you that matters most, it's what happens in you. You don't have to let your experiences draw confidence from you; instead you can draw confidence from your experiences. Be encouraged today because there is no much more in you that is waiting to be discovered. There are new options for your future, and opportunities to be recovered. Now is the time to leave the past behind and make room to embrace the destiny that lies ahead for you...
