The Decision Is Ours To Make, When We Are Ready

Every moment is special and is worthy of your attention. ~ Leah Carey
 
Special moments are everywhere we look, we just have to focus.  Most times we as human beings are too self absorbed in our own life to see the beauty that is there for us.

I really looked this time on the way to work, beautiful flowers that were almost everywhere I could see.  Little children skipping along with their parents, the children show joy in all their surroundings.  Kitty cats sauntering along and then suddenly pouncing on something.  The calm waters in the harbor I drive over ever day.

I don't drive so I can take this time to just gaze while I'm on the bus.  Usually though I'm lost in my own thoughts, my own issues to see what is right there.  I have been feeling the need to be more present, more aware.

I had an epiphany the other morning, in my need to be loved, I forgot that it is me that makes me happy.  Also no matter how happy I am, I cannot make someone else feel this.  Some people are just not ready to be in that place, they want to be negative and in the "poor me" attitude. 

I just think they are afraid to believe that they have the right to feel happy and they deserve it.  Unfortunately they are missing out on the best times of their lives, the most wonderful experiences.  It's their loss, now that is truly sad. Especially when the opportunity to have sheer pleasure and joy was within their reach. They just had to believe and hold on for a little longer. 

The only thing I can do is be happy and radiate that as much as possible, if someone is not ready for that, I still have to continue on that path.... otherwise I will not be able to keep myself positive and uplifting.  I really refuse to go down to anyone's level again.  Instead, I am willing to help someone raise up so that they can feel worthy and loved too; all they have to do is want it.
