Life Affirming
Mark’s Musings #31
When the world says you can’t, listen with deaf ears and do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Ask Yourself The Right Question
If you ever wondered,
is it better to live
second by second,
minute by minute,
hour by hour,
day by day,
month to month
or year to year
then you’re asking yourself
the wrong question
Just living is precious in itself
So spend your time wisely
creating memories
that’ll last a lifetime.

Happy New Year
As 2020 winds down, my resolution for the new year is to continue to have “HOPE” despite everything that life throws at me. Hope is a powerful motivator, a life-affirming feeling and a force to be reckon with if properly sent out into the world. Darkness cannot exist without light, so keep that spark of hope alive…have faith that everything will turn out all right. Ignite the eternal optimist within you!
Tis The Season
It’s that time of year where we tend to spread good cheer and give of ourselves to others. Everyone is usually all smiles and in good spirits but 2020 threw a wrench in all our plans. But despite all the chaos that happened, we just need to pause and remember that no matter how bad things get there is light at the end of the tunnel. We just need to have faith and keep hope alive. Hope changes everything! That positive vibe that has a tendency to be prevalent during the holiday season is something we need to carry with us into 2021. The more positivity we can spread, the more hope we can spark in others, the more faith we can sustain will make the rough times bearable. So spread cheer, spread joy this holiday season and keep it going until we can get back to normal.
A Double-Edged Sword
Adversity can break you, but it can also help build your confidence to overcome it.
What I’m Thankful For
Despite what a terrible year 2020 has been, I’m thankful that I got a chance to strengthen my relationships with my family and friends…even connect with long lost ones. It helped me to lean on them for support and I learned that regardless of what life throws at you or what obstacles arise, if we face it together…together we will persevere.
