The reason I live is for my future family.
The world wants to hear more about Life Appreciation. I have proven, that despite the Color, Race, Gender, Age, Religion or Country you are from, we all have one thing in common. That is to live the life we were given to it's best potential.
Let me step back 2.5 yrs ago and tell you why I can prove this. My son attempted to end his life 2.5 yrs ago when he no longer had reasons to live for. It did break me down when the Suicide text came in. IT HURT LIKE HELL!!!
I was going to save Christopher’s life. I needed to do whatever it took to make him realize that life was worth the living. That was my only thought, my single-minded focus. I was determined to take whatever measures were necessary to make this happen. My son was not going to leave this earth until he was old and grey, and most certainly not before me or his mom. Not if I could help it.
The day was April 10th, 2010. We thought it would be just another day in the life of the Agudo family. It was not. Hello, my name is Jesus Agudo and this is the story of how my wife and I almost lost our youngest son and what we did to get him back.
***
My heart broke. It was the worst pain I had ever felt in my lifetime. The thought of losing my child was almost the death of me. I sat on the edge of my bed and cried the hardest I had ever cried in my life. Both of my fists were clenched over my eyes. An overwhelming flood of tears ran down my cheeks. My arms became saturated from crying.
As I sat there in pain and sorrow, the many memories of Christopher began to flash through my mind. Memories from Iliana being pregnant with him, the day he was born, him saying his first words, taking his first steps, all the hugs and kisses he would give us and growing up to be a wonderful, loving son.
When I look up to the sky, during the night, I see soo many little white dots. Almost as if there are an infinite stars, beaming their lights. That makes me wonder, and it makes me know that the future is infinite, anything can happen. We have many things coming ahead of us. Living Is So Big.
I made this picture to show how much I appreciate LISB!
To tell the truth I have actually been inspired by LISB.
They have spent so much of there time and effort on trying to help people across the world, to understand how important life is and how we can get the most out of it.

Living is so big for me because you can always have new beginnings. New things come our way all the time, we just need to be open to them and recieve them with open arms.
LIVING IS SO BIG. All in caps. Because I said so. It is infinite really, but the phrase here is, "Living Is So Big". When awakening to your true essence, nothing becomes a problem anymore. That's why LISB.
When I am invited to have my mom's cooking, I am amazed. I am in heaven! It tastes so good and I look forward to it every time. Living Is So Big because I look forward to my mom's amazing cooking.
Short version of a true story.
As I waited in line for my coffee... this occured:
Man in front of me, in the line began to curse loudly at another person.
Man left the line cursing then shortly returned back in Line.
Man turned around towards me and asked, "what's that?"
I replied, "it's a wristband and it represents Life Appreciation."
Man said, "I like positive things!"
I then in return gave him two wristbands.
Man went outside to his table to drink his coffee.
I went outside to speak with him.
He looked at me and said, "I can feel the electricity."
Man claimed the wristbands made him feel that "Living Is So Big."
Man began to yell and repeated it loudly into the crowd... "Living Is So Big!"
"Yesterday" already happened. "Right now" is occurring and "Tomorrow" is another day. You cannot change what has already happened, your past. The events which took place are already set in stone within your mind. So there is no point in dwelling upon anything whether good or bad that has already occurred, simply because, it has already happened.
We move on. Push forward. Keep on going not knowing what is around the corner. Which is good...
I recently decided to take a big step in my life and get outside of the box. You know the quote, "Think outside the box." Well I left the box and am feeling great! Living is so big, for me because now I see clearly.
I got two free tickets to an upcoming rock band! I am so going to enjoy it =) LIVING IS SO BIG
As I've become more awakened I've noticed things in a whole new light. It's as if I'm looking at life through a new set of eyes. It's amazing how life has a new meaning to me. My compassion has risen to new heights, as if I can feel what others are feeling.
I know that we are connected more then ever. In order for humanity to survive this stage of awareness this has to be born in all of us. I'm amazed how intricate we are in so many levels. We are so powerful that just to think of everything we are capable of doing just boggles my mind.
Living is so big because I enjoy my hobby. I enjoy riding my bike out on the grassy hills all over the place. To get to the top of the really, really tall hill and then to glide down ever so fast on my bike without pedaling. Feels amazing, I enjoy that very much.
Just like I put in the title. Because I said so... LISB always, every second, minute, day, week, month, year, etc. IT"S HUMONGOUS!
I read up on "Life's Dream Formula" here on the website. It makes sense for sure. Now every time I do something which uplifts or satifys me I will be. Grateful! LIVING IS SO BIG, everyday!
I wake up and take a deep breath. Wash up, get changed and then walk outside. I see the mountain range, hear birds chirping, see butterfly's , bugs! insects, trees, leaves, deer. I smell the dew on the grass. I feel at peace. This is why Living Is So Big! Because life is amazing.

A butterfly, a beautiful butterfly, no matter what color, flies around effortlessly, going with the flow. I saw that today and it really relaxed me and made me feel like that. To just go with the flow and realize that everything is going as it should be. Life is grand and LIVING IS SO BIG, ALWAYSSS!!!!!!!
