Your cup of Life….is it full or empty?

When we are born, the only gift we are given equally is the breath of life. From then onwards, and as soon as we are old enough to make choices, it is all up to us how we end up. When we are looked after by others who love us it is to teach us how to look after ourselves in time, but some of us never learn!! We stay dependent, we become co-dependent, believing that our happiness depends on others. WRONG!

I have just spent time with someone who bleats on constantly about the wonderful lives that everyone else leads, and how envious she is of all the things they do. In stark contrast, she does NOTHING with her life....makes no plans, never makes any effort to improve her life...just depends on what she is invited to take part in, or be involved in things that other people have planned. She wonders why life has been this way for her and another way for others!

We can be so guilty of not doing things in life that will satisfy us or make us happy, and then we blame it on everyone and anything else. The psychologists in the 60's had a field day when they put forward the views that we were victims of circumstance. If you believe that then you will NEVER be inspired to make any changes in your life. You may even believe that this was the way your life was "meant to be". What does that mean? Can we really pass the buck to the extent that we believe that someone is giving out good lives to some and bad lives to others? Wow! What freedom that gives us all to moan and groan about the way our lives are turning out!

We are in control of every day of our lives.....even if it is just our attitude towards things. There is not a circumstance that denies that. Control comes not only from the things we can do, but from the attitude we have to what is going on around us. People in terrible circumstances have looked on the bright side in life and inspired others. Look at the amazing achievements some physically impaired people have made in sports, athletics, marathons etc....they don't sit around concentrating on what they cannot do.....they make an effort to work at what they find they CAN do.

What about us? What about YOU and me? Please try to wake up every day and realise that cups only get full by putting something in them. Absolute FACT. Your cup of life is only going to get full if YOU put something in it. Absolute FACT.

Recognise your abilities to make plans, look forward to each day, and make life the way you want it to be. Don't spend another moment wishing your life was like someone else's, work things out so that you can have as good a life as you want it to be. Don't waste a moment! Fill your cup!

Till next time, take care!
