Should of, would of, could of……
So I recently had a stomach issue that my body, along with antibiotics, has finally overcome (THANK GOD). It really has made me appreciative for a pain-free life!! Dealing with that kind of pain really opened my eyes in a whole new light. A majority of individuals will continue on with their “normal” lifestyle, overlooking their health in general, until one day they are hit with a horrible reality of sickness and/or pain. It isn’t until then that we look back and are truly grateful for what we had. Sometimes awakenings like that are needed in many of our lives. I, for one, am so thankful that my body is now healthy and whole again. I now spend extra moments during my days to thank God that I have what I have and that I may do everything as though it is truly a gift.
Life is a gift, and from the day we were born, our days began to decrease. Time is one thing we can never get back, and it is crucial that we all grab a hold of the reality of the gift of every moment. I don’t want to let the time go by and down the road wish I had done things differently. Many of us wait until detrimental situations arise in our lives to finally make a change, but we need to be people that have the mentality of preventing problems and circumstances. It isn’t luck or bad luck that we are where we are today. We’ve made the choices to get here, and ultimately, we will determine where we are heading. Just look around at the things you have been blessed with instead of what you don’t have!!! It is all about changing the way you think of things, and that change will change your entire life! Then again, what each of us has may be what someone would give anything for!!
I wanted to just encourage everyone to look at his/her health as a top priority. Many things in life can be prevented, so let’s put the effort into doing it now instead of then or until then. That “until then” might be your biggest fear, and all along you had the power to steer clear of it!!! BEWARE of the should ofs, would ofs, and could ofs!!! God bless and have a wonderful holiday!!!
