Why is living so big? These are the reasons.

I have struggled big and small for the past year, I was released out of the military in 2011 and I thought all would be well returning to civillian life but not. I was faced with a bad economy and no good paying jobs. I thought for sure I was going to fail at life.

I was down and out working at cinnabon in the Asheville mall when a nice couple breathed life into me with just 4 words "LIVING IS SO BIG" who would have thought that these 4 little words would change the way I see my life forever.

The wristband is still on my wrist and it never comes off and when I feel depressed I just look down and read those 4 little words and it makes me smile and changes my view instantly.

(Apr 1-30, 2014) Let if be known that... April is Life Appreciation month!

Dear Iliana, Christopher and Jesus,

I am writing this letter to let you know how thankful I am that you guys came to talk to me and my classmates. When I entered my class, I was serious and kind of sad. But, when you guys started talking I was thinking this is so interesting. When I got out of class I came out with a BIG smile and alot of wristbands.

I love these wristbands! I still need three more to make the colection because Living Is So Big!!! ...

I live for today because I am a resident on a beautiful planet. It is full of wondrous creatures and plants. Whenever I feel stressed or small, I can take a walk at a park and relax in the serenity that surrounds me.

Remember that you have a heart-beat.....So you have a purpose.

Dear Jesus and Christopher

Thank you for coming to our class. My favorite part was when I read one of the Eight Living Realization cards called "Family." For me, family is the most important thing in my life.

One thing you don't know is that I am an Aunt. At first I really didn't like having a nephew because I am a jelouse girl. I thought that they would pay more attention to him, but they really haven't. They do a bit, but also pay attention to the both of us. I learned alot and when I got home I realized I have a blessing that is my nephew. <3 ...

Common sense is like breathing. The more you do it, the easier it gets. After all, it is a natural state of being and is habit due to the necessity of your lungs. Common sense is breathing, so when you must come down to a final decision, utilize common sense, it is easy........just like breathing. To go against common sense is equivalent to holding your breath... No body wants to suffocate. Just breathe.

The reason I live my life so big is for my husband who loves me, supports me, and makes me the happiest girl ever.

Back in April of 2010 my life has changed 100%. At that moment I knew I had to find the courage and strength to go forward and I found it within me, it was lying dormant within me.

When life gives us trials and tribulations in our darkest moments in our lives that is the time when we must know that we are strong to pass all of it with flying stars. Giving ourselves the motivation to keep moving no matter haht. Like my son Chris always says... "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger" What wisom from such a beautiful soul. That's why Living Is So Big to me.

Can you hear it? Can you feel it? Listen and Be Still, then you will hear and feel it. It's those moments in life when we must stop what we are doing and just BE. We will get messages.

No matter what, it's important to do what you love. Investing your time and energy into a passion, desire, talent always makes the heart sing.

The Formula for Life's Dream: (T+E)*PCX=LiDr

Time plus Energy multiplied by Passion, Commitment, Execution equals Life's Dream

Follow the calculation of the formula and you too can achieve Life's Dream. It all begins with time. No matter how busy you may seem, time is always present. Do not dare say that you have "no time!" Saying it allows you to not achieve the Life's Dream. Also, be aware of the energy you use and wisely apply it with that precious moment called time. Time and Energy will be the beginning of any start.

After we make the time and energy available, Passion is a must! We need to acknowledge what we desire, what we want to have. The problem with passion is that most do not recognize it or realize that it is right there on their mind. It's the many thoughts of desire, of achieving and wanting something simple or great. It's the one thought that can make Life's Dream into a reality. Yet, many will think of other thoughts to do instead and miss out. Yes, the clutter and distraction has victory and your Life's Dream has been defeated.

However, If you do not allow clutter and distraction to deter you from achieving Life's Dream, it simply means that you have taken the next step. The next step of the formula called "Commitment." You have decided that this passion must be done and that it is part of what you want to accomplish. Yes, I will do this! I want this! It sounds fantastic. Doesn't it? Yet, this combination alone will not allow you to achieve Life's Dream. The final element of the formula is the most crucial. This will define the moment of who you are and what you want to accomplish.

The final piece of the formula is the following through, the Execution! Most will never complete this part. So close, yet never completed. Is it due to laziness, clutter, distraction or just not knowing how to? Whatever reason you can come up with, it will not change the fact that you fell short. You must act on the rest of the formula! You are allocating the "Time and Energy," thought of what you want or desire, "Passion!" You have the "Commitment" of getting it done and that you will do this. Then lastly, you do follow through and "Execute" on this to achieve your "Life's Dream" formula. Congratulations!!!!

Now, you may have been wondering what in the world is Life's Dream formula. I see the formula and understand its calculations. But what is it exactly?

The end result of the “Life’s Dream” is an uplifting and satisfying moment of accomplishment. It varies from some small thought or a grand thought. No matter what the thought may be, you accomplished it!!! Maybe it's a goal or even becoming successful in business. From this moment on, start living life's Dream.
