I am so grateful for the example of some amazing people in my life; my father, my grandfather, some wonderful teachers, bosses, and of course friends.   Each of them in their own way  have taught me that life is not just about existing; but living to the fullest.  You have to experience life, not just breathe the air each day.  Happiness is not given to you, it is found inside yourself; its not up to others to make you happy your the only one that can do that. 

 Life is a choice; I choose life.  I choose to live my life with no regrets, living it to the absolute fullest. I experience life, breathe life, run, life, see life, and give life to those around me, who choose to live it with me.  I cannot give something I have to someone not willing to receive; and it can be very painful to see people you love and care about, not care enough about themselves to do something more than just exist.  I wish I could give them what I have, I wish I could fix it all and make it all go away.  But reality is this; YOU are the only one that can change your life; you have to dig deep inside and find what will motivate you to have the most amazing, and wonderful life.  

God intended for us to be happy; and I will LIVE!
