Everyday when I wake up I try my best to thank God for another day and go into the day with a positive attitude. The reason I try to start my day off on such a great note is because I am truly greatful to be awake and here to see another day. These days with violence and sickness and mother nature causing problems and death so often it is amazing to still be here day in and day out. I would consider myself a very positive person which is why I believe life is a gift and it should be charished at all times.
Being the son of a mortician it is extremely common for me to hear about a family who has lost a loved one or a young life that got cut short due to a tragic event that the person had little or no control of. I think it is important to take care of the life we are given because we only have one chance and why waste it on something dumb and pointless. There are many ways to take care of ourselves which could include eating right, exercising, staying mentaly sharp, and staying away from drugs and alcohol. Also it is crucial that we live a life that we are proud of and a life without regret.
Not only should we life a healthy and long life, but we should be successful and strive for the best. This means that we shouldn’t be afraid to dream and set goals and also prioritize. One thing in life that I feel is important to have is a happy and successful life without regrets and doubts. For example, if you see someone you like then you should go up and talk to them or if your afraid of heights then go to a theme park and see what its like to be free from fear. Also we are still young enough to mode our lives to be anything we want to be if we dream big. Why settle for being a millionaire, why not shoot for a trillionaire or why become an astronanut when you could build a space station? If we look at the most successful people in todays society they are people who went out and followed their dreams no matter how crazy the may have seemed. A famous quote that I found sums up a lot of what I am trying to say right now, the quote says “ You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough”. This just goes to show that although you live once a happy and successful person will be fine with that one chance.
If a person can say that they seize every chance they get to do something great and are successful and happy then that is someone who lives life to the fullest everyday. i feel that it is good to take care of our life and appreciate it because there are many people much younger than us who where not so fortunate as us in this room. With all of this in mind I would encourage you all to dream big, seize every chance that presents itself, be greatful for the life you have, and never give up so that you can live a life worth living.
