A Zest for Life
What a glorious summer! What a wonderful life! Sometimes an unexpected situation brings you to a cross road in life where decisions have to be taken and changes have to be made. This can be the perfect opportunity to take stock and reflect on the things that matter and more so, the people in your life who matter the most!
So many of us chase a dream without considering the compromises that have to be made in order to live out the dream... Sometimes all you need to do is to adjust the balance and become the person you want to be... then go for it. Surround yourself with people who cheer you on and flick away those who aim to block and hurt you. If they have time to do that, then they most certainly have very little meaning in their own lives.
There are always opportunities to strive towards and ways to climb the ladder if the attitude is right. Having a zest for life is living with a feeling of enjoyment and enthusiasm with the belief that anything is possible... and it is!
"So when life gives you lemons, make orange juice
and make them wonder how you did it!"
Have a fabulous, wonderful and juicy August!
