I was thinking about the things I always thought that ideally I would want to be defined by, at least by the end of my life, but hopefully, NOW...and continually in heightening waves of growth. Here they are: To be a joyful person, radiant with a sunshiney outlook and inner optimism that encourages and places hope within all that I come to meet. This radiance would infiltrate my entire persona. I want to be a person who truly gets out there and LIVES life, which means I really need to quit worrying so much about what people may or may not be thinking about me ( because they are most likely NOT thinking about me, haha).
I want to explore, get dirty, travel, and meet and love people truly. I want to stop being so materialistic and simplify all aspects of my life. We can really live very fruitfully with very little, surprisingly.
I want to accumulate experiences rather than THINGS!! I want to make my dreams come true that I have placed on a far up shelf to gather dust.
I want to be healthy and fit and love my body in all of its imperfection...
I want to be loyal to my husband, and romantic, in love, inspiring, the best friend he will ever have, and completely passionate for him until the day I die! I want to be a big kid, and ride bikes and roller skate, and have fun with my children and not take life so seriously!
I want to leave a trail of dust behind me when I die that tells the world that I was here, and I LIVED life. I want to be happy!
I can only fulfill all of this by placing Jesus first, and this I will do whole-heartedly. He's the best thing I could ever have in my life, and the wellspring of goodness.
Choose life TODAY. I am.
