The Ultimate Pep Talk, Be grateful you’re alive

Let’s just take a moment and evaluate our lives. Look at the world as an opportunity to live and not a waiting room for what is to come. When we start to look at the purpose of each day and each moment we start to become grateful for the things we are given in the opportunity of living. If you stub your toe be grateful there is a toe to stub, if you are going to work be grateful you have somewhere to go.      

Life is a gift and living is an opportunity. This rollercoaster is what you make of it so make the most of every moment. Anton Chekhov said that “Man is what he believes” and those five words sum up the human experience better than a 1000 page book could. We can only do great things if we have the belief we can, so live in the now and enjoy the ride; you can achieve great things if you believe you can.  

Do not look to the sky or to your neighbors, look in the mirror and mark your progress in the person who was standing there the day before. Achieve great things the second you arise by arising with an empowered feeling of infinite possibilities and the promise of a new day. You are the coach, player and spectator, play well, be well and most of all, be grateful you’re alive.
