You Exist - So Live a Happy Life Already!
You Exist - So Live a Happy Life Already! The odds of your life actually existing are as close to infinity as you can imagine. Everything had to be in place from the beginning of the universe until the day you were born, for you to exist. Every chemical- biological reaction since the beginning of time, along with billions of other factors, needed to all come together at exactly the right moment in time for you to have been born, and for your infinitesimally short life to exist.
Wow. That puts things in perspective, doesn't it? So, don't goof it up, right?
Well...
We all screw up - every single one of us, in too many ways to count. And yet, for each of us, every moment in our lives is a new opportunity to honor this miracle of life by starting over, based on who we want to be today - in spite of, or in response to, whatever happened in our past. In that way, if we only realize it, we are eternal children.
A moment in a child's life represents a greater portion of their total life compared to us grown-ups. They don't waste their time on anything but what joy they can experience right now. Remember the summer vacations that seemed to go on and on after the last day of school? Weather didn't seem to matter when you were too busy enjoying life to notice. Children take life for what it is: being alive right now.
Life is the greatest gift in the universe, and the present is the gift that's in your hands right now. So open it up and play with it already!
