Be A Fully Alive Person

When was the last time you met someone who approached life with zest and joy? Can you remember how it felt to be in his or her presence; how that person brought a special zing that made life seem exciting and worthwhile?

Are you fully alive? Do you celebrate the life God has given you...rain or shine?

Happiness is a choice. It's a matter of attitude as much as anything. Decide to like what you get instead of demanding that you get what you like. You can choose your attitude. You can allow fear to rule you. Or you can adjust your attitude and live out a fearless faith in God. A positive attitude makes it easier to navigate life and deal with challenges that come your way. I've discovered I always have choices and sometimes it's only a choice of attitude.

Happiness does not depend on big events or monumental achievements. It comes from the daily blessings we often take for granted. Enjoy spending time with friends. Embrace the gifts each day brings. Be open and receptive. Choose to greet each moment with the enthusiasm of a child.

When you relax into God's grace, you will discover that every day can be a good day. To be fully alive means that you don't have all the answers, because life is larger and more wonderful than you can yet imagine. When you say yes to life, you are saying yes to the unknowns. The unknowns are where the growing edge is, where life and creativity are most fertile and abundant. Be fully present in the miracle of this day.

The glory of God is a human being fully alive.

In His Love,
Dalinda
