10 Things That Make me Come Alive


1.  Death (Knowing and losing someone makes me more motivated than ever to reflect the goodness and example she set as well as living each moment that was stolen from her.  I only have now and I will make it count for the both of us.)

2.  Words (Those moments reading something, hearing something, or sharing something that makes you feel as if it was made for you.  It makes me realize that connectivity is the most important quality in the world.  Words connect our hearts, create bridges to other lands, and float us away into another world.)

3.  Evolution/Change (Change doesn’t exist, but you know what does?  Small improvements, evolution.  You can become who you want to be, but you can never change from who you were.  That will always be a part of you, so find your darkness and find a way for it to become apart of your future.)

4.  Love (The most powerful force in the world?  It could be and love is different for everyone and there are countless different types of love just like the idea of religion and denominations.  And you can never feel the same love twice; nothing can ever get old.  I love that idea).

5.  People  (People are amazing and unique and can push you closer to who you are or closer to who you should be, and even when they take you farther from where you think you should be you’ll come back, have faith in yourself. Because after all you’re human too.)

6.   Complacency (This is just for myself, but when I see a relationship that is stagnant or a person that is stagnant in their growth it pushes me to never want to be like that.  Growth is and has become everything to me. 
This quote: “Life has many ways of testing a person’s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen at once.” )

7.  Goals (If you don’t have goals, make some!  Small goals, big goals, lofty goals.  I have hourly, daily, short-term, and long-term goals.  And yes I love lists.)

8.  New Places (I love to travel and see the differences in the world of how just the smallest things can all be done in unique and different ways or have been done in the past.  We can learn from our past and we can learn from our differences.)

9.  FOOD (This is way too far down the list, but I love cooking and love trying new foods and experiencing them with other.  Food can bring together even the most scorned enemies.  As long as it’s not poisoned! Eep!)

10.  Making others happy  (This should be number one for me, but this isn’t in any order.  Making other people happy is the single thing that makes me happiest in the world.  And most of the time I will do whatever it takes to make those people happy.)
