Come read the many reasons people have shared — family, friends, joy, kindness, and the everyday moments that make living so big. Then share your reason, so someone else can find a little more light in theirs.
It was a pleasure to meet your family while you visited Asheville, NC. You are an inspiration and blessing to those you come in contact with.
To me, the joy in living comes through and is compounded daily through gratitude.
It can be as simple as taking a moment when you put the key in the car to be thankful that the tires are always round and that the ignition always starts. The more gratitude I acknowledge, the more blessing that show up in my life
I remind myself daily to live joyously, enthusiastically, spontaneously. This attitude gives Power to all I do.
This is a lovely little film that reminds us of what is important.
Just a note to say THANK YOU for your enthusiasm & a vision of appreciation for the wonderful world we live in. Times are tough, but optimism & laughter
are our greatest treasures.
Living is so big because of the growing baby inside of me and my husband. Everyday I get to plan the future and look forward to giving life to the beautiful miracle that is our unborn child and I get to be blessed to be loved by a wonderful man who cherishes me beyond all else.
Living is so big for the rest of my family, my brother, my sisters, my mom, my cousins, my grandparents, my dad, my aunts, my blood and my non blood family. Because family is forever and they are the best I could ever ask for.
Living is so big because I am so big. And so are they! I have overcome huge things in my life from homelessness, to addiction, to hate, and to basically being nothing. Now I have the gift of life to live for and THAT IS SO BIG!!!!!!!
I never thought in my wildest dreams the word CANCER would ever come from my mouth. Not me, NO NO not me. I felt different. I felt I would not be the chosen one. I felt I was untouchable. I felt this was my stage and I was performing. I would decide who gets what in life. I just woke up from a dream I have been living for years.
Going to school, working, see family, getting married, giving birth. I woke up from this dream and realized not only did I get older but now I have CANCER. Now I look in the mirror and say what happened. A week ago I was just living life... Now I'm looking in the mirror.
After I received the news of this so call CANCER, I went home and sat outside in my back yard and started thinking "AM I GOING TO DIE". I thought to myself absolutely not. So here I am CANCER free. And on my stage I am doing Zumba and continuing to smile. There is a saying “stop and smell the roses” literally I “stop and smell the roses”.
Living is so big because nature is all around us. Nature never leaves us. Man will create concrete jungles everywhere and suffocate nature, but nature will keep on going and as an example grass and such will grow through cracks of sidewalks.
We should look at nature as a motivation to keep on going as does nature.
When you aqcuire wisdom and knowledge, that you have in a million years, would have thought was not possible to even know about. You become enlightened and have become more powerful than the average person whom does not understand this wisdom and knowledge.
Living Is So Big because I have this wisdom and knowledge and I try my best to spread it upon people so they too can learn and grow!
Today I went on a run for the first time in a month or so after purchasing my new iPod shuffle. I was so excited to finally have music in my ears while exercising. During my run I decided to make it a long one since I felt so good with my new iPod. So I did a 4 mile route and soon found myself struggling to keep on going.
I wanted to stop and walk at many times. However, with several glances at my Living Is So Big wristbands, I continued to keep on running. The motivation of knowing I could finish without having to walk became overwhelming. Anybody can finish what they start. They just have to have the mentality and will to do so.
I developed a second wind and finished my run with flying colors! I realize a small event like this may not seem like much, but it's the small things in life that truly matter. I will take this experience and grow from it. Living Is So Big. Beyond Big.
