The Opportunity to Get Life Right

New Audio Version of this Article! ==> The Opportunity to Get Life Right

“I love you baby, with all of my heart. Always be yourself. Never let anyone change you. You are a beautiful person. You have made me so proud”, are a few of the words that any of us would love to hear from those that we love. Well these were the words spoken to me by my loving grandmother, Elouise Mosley, only a few days before she departed the loving lives of her family and friends to rest by the side of our loving God.

Many of us spend the most precious seconds of our lives reaching for what we have proclaimed to be achievement. When our true achievements often extend beyond the measures of what society has determined to exist in the purchasing or renting our first home, buying a new car, having a great job, maintaining loving relationships, establishing precious friendships and designing an overall quality driven lifestyle. These are only a few of the achievements that we have deemed important within our lives. This list can go forever. It is important that we respect achievement as being an opportunity to not only receive its rewards and gifts , but to also share those same rewards and gifts with others.

We are often given opportunity after opportunity to get life right. To be the champions that we were created to be. To walk with the giants of life regardless of our physical realities or financial benevolence. To smell the flowers of life as though their existence was about to end. To embrace the strength that hope continuously offers us through our belief in its power or maybe even to encourage good will amongst all those that cross the paths of our lives.

This may sound like a tall order to a short order cook, but I can personally tell you that from my own experience, it is attainable. My grandmother lived this life. She walked tall amongst the giants. She held her head high in the presence of challenge and grieving loss. Money, wisdom and materialistic gain held many purposes in her life, but their primary purpose was influenced in the actions of sharing. She believed that nothing held purpose if it could not or would not be shared. People need more than food and water to survive in this world is what she has said to me in the past.

I am convinced that God did not break the mold when he created my grandmother. I believe that you are experiencing the sharing of this article because you are ether a contributor to this wonderful benefit in life or you were influenced by someone who loved you enough to introduce this benefit into your life. Maybe it was your mother, your father, your brother, your sister or your friend. Whom ever it was, they gave you a gift that your life ’s achievements will forever appreciate. Life quickly passes through us, around us, with us and for us. It is in our rewards and gifts back to life that repeatedly welcomes opportunity into our lives and the lives of others.

I am sure that you can agree that it is a wonderful experience to receive through the act of giving. Therefore I ask of you to not sacrifice the value of your rewards and gifts, to not deny their presence within your life and to not feel shameful of your achievements. But to embrace the power that exists in your achievements, when giving and sharing is in the forefront of your mind and actions.
