Just Try

When you look back on your life, are you really going to wish you had worked more, made more money, or spent more time worrying? I would like to believe that you would answer no. No matter how sleep deprived I am, hungry, tired, cranky, angry, I remember that I would rather feel this way for a moment just to be able to experience something that changes it all around. A smile, giggle and hug from Sophia, a pay it forward moment in the grocery store or on the street, an amazing meal shared with family and friends, or just a hug, lasting only a fleeting moment but forever ingrained into a feeling. We all have that, or at least I hope you do. That one thing that makes you feel whole inside. That one feeling that overrides all others. That memory that gets you through a terrible time. If you are answering "No, I don't have that" then I pose you with challenge. Go find it. Remember a time where nothing else mattered but the feeling, the touch, the graze, the kiss. Capture it and keep it forever. Take a risk and let a chance encounter change the rest of your life for the better. If you are scared to experience things just because they might turn out bad, then what is the point. Life is scary, but it is also magical and exciting in ways you never thought possible. If you need a little boost to get you away from that rut that you find yourself in, just watch this video and try not to cry. But then smile knowing how much it just changed your life.
