Subject: Discussion... Author: Bunny [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:07:59 08/19/02 Mon Good morning, everyone...I got an email from a friend this morning and it really made me think. But the thing is, I want to know what the rest of you think as well. I'd love to start some sort of discussion on this, cuz well...it's healthy and it stimulates our brains. :) So here it is, the email my friend sent to me: I was listening to the John Mayer CD on my way home tonight and when track 2 came on I got to thinking. "Am I living it right?" Just listen to the track and you will hear what I mean. I am sure the song has a totally different meaning, but at this moment it just hit me. One of the last lines is: "Everything happens for a reason, there's no reason why I can't I ask myself, if I'm living it right?" I just hope that I am doing this right because I only have one shot at it, ya know?? Here's what I told my friend: Everyone wonders that. It's completely normal and logistical to wonder if we are living it right. All you can do is be true to who you are and what it is you want. We never know if we are doing it right...we only know how we feel. If you feel happy and fulfilled then you know what...you're living it right. I'm not saying that you can't want more or have bad days and such...but if, on the whole, you look at your life and you smile...then I think you've answered the question yourself. If you can't smile about your life right now...then again, you've answered your own question. Me...of course I'm not completely happy but for the most part I am. I may not be completely living my life "right" but I'm on that path. Only you know in your heart if you are living your life "right"...no one can tell you if you are or not. There is a reason for everything...God has his reasons and altho we may not understand them, we know that he has them. The only thing you can do is continue to live your life the best way you know how...with the love and guidance of the Lord, your family and friends, and your heart and know that you are loved. So I'm just curious...what do y'all think?? I look forward to your answers. Have a good Monday. Much Love and God bless...
