Kristen's Written Ramblings: My Online Journal

How are you spending your seconds?

Life is not made up of years, or months, or weeks, or even days.

Life is made up of hours, minutes, and seconds.

You have not had a bad year or even a bad day. You simply had a bad hour or perhaps a bad minute. Maybe it was only a few bad seconds. Let it go. It was such a short time.

Make your next second better.

Smile. Do something silly. Fulfill a dream (even if all you can do is take the first step in planning that goal). Hug someone. Create something beautiful. Write a nice note. Tip your server 30%. Tell somebody you love them. Do something nice for a stranger. Be the center of attention and enjoy it.

That is how you make the life you want.

Create as many joyful seconds and minutes as possible and let go of the ones that weren't what you wanted. The more you do this, the happier your life will be.
