Life's too short
Sniff the air, listen to the birds, and look at the trees.
You don’t get many days like these.
It all goes by too fast.
This moment may be your last.
Save your tears for bigger fears.
Use your ears for every melody of joy.
The concept we call life is a gift, not a toy.
Use your eyes to see what really lies.
Focus on the full side of the glass, rather than the empty.
In the end, everything is far too short.
As cliché as it may sound, we never realize it until one’s last day is found.
Flaunt your strengths.
Make the best of your weakness.
Work through the stress.
You’ll only learn to appreciate every emotion as time begins to press.
Replace that grudge with a forgiving hug.
Move forward with the pace of time.
It’s not worth having the past pull you behind.
Say what you need to say.
Enjoy what may be your last day.

the things you say are so very true
optimism like this is well overdue
make the best of what you have...seize this moment
otherwise you will fall victim to your opponent
& that is whomever that may be
but its only one to a man like me
he is the one who constructed the lie
but im thankful for him because his test is the reason i still Try....
