Would you be surprised if I told you I was drinking coffee right now?

Yup, I've got a coffee cup right next to my computer right now.  Maybe that's a little dangerous, but I like to live life on the wild side every now and then.

 I read a quote the other day that said, "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you realize why."  The "why."  Why are you here?  Why am I here?  WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE?  I don't know about you, but I need a reason to live.  I NEED reinforcement.  I need to know and believe that I am doing right by my life.  That's why sometimes, in the midsts of things I feel discouragement.  This is a marathon we're talking about, and it is easy to lose your way when you're on mile 6 of 26.  I lose my way a lot, but somehow I keep working my way back to the right path.  One key I've learned to live by is to never give up.  Just keep going.  Just keep running.  Just keep pushing forward.

The whole "it get's better" movement, IT'S TRUE! It is absolutely true, if you just keep going.  When you find your purpose, keep going!  If you haven't found your purpose yet, then keep searching! Keep going!

If you get knocked down 9 times, get up 10.  Another quote I recently read: I would rather live a life of 'oh wells' then live a life of 'what ifs.'  


I'm 25 years old.  I've already had some huge failures.  That's okay.  I tried.  I put my entire self into what I was doing, and it just didn't happen at the time.  You live, you learn, and you move on.  I like to replace 'move on' with move FORWARD.

Here's some encouragement for your Thursday morning:

I CAN DO ANYTHING GOOD!  

I still believe that people are inherently good.  I still believe that I can be anything I want to be, just like you can too!
