How ya Living?

This month alone I have witnessed many unexpected deaths of people under the age of fifty. Fifty doesn’t seem too far away from the lens of many fly, youthful yet blooming 40 somethings. To not make this entry morbid as heck I’ll just say ladies and gent of all ages …. LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST DAILY!!

Whatever that may look like for you personally….

I have had so much to say and nothing to say all at the same time the past few weeks as my mind has been full of great life reflection as I center daily to stay present. As I was preparing to write today, I was reminded of LOVE, GRATITUDE and the power that comes with possessing the correct ATTITUDE. Many of you are tired of me saying it but it really is the difference maker. Realizing that you are in control of your mood and actions if YOU choose to have a good attitude than the things around you have no reason but to be GOOD. I do understand that BAD things can still happen to GOOD people, but a GOOD ATTITUDE can change how those GOOD people handle the BAD things too. Today rather than share all that I am learning I want to ask you some questions …. I want to put every reader of this entry in the hot seat and simply ask “How are you LIVIN’?” …….

Are you living in Grief and Sorrow?

Are you living with Regret?

Are you living in a place of joy and peace?

Are you living to LIVE or LIVING to DIE?

Are you living Healthy and WHOLE?

Are you LIVING with LOVE?

HOW ARE YOU LIVING? and how is that working out for YOU? Is there anything that you can change or shift today that would better your tomorrow? Tomorrow being the next minute, hour, or day? Or Tomorrow being the thoughts in your head about TOMORROW? I started sharing months ago to my friends that one of my charges and challenges for self is NOT overwhelming myself with overthinking so when I ask these questions, I am speaking to the thoughts you are currently combating. To the LIFE you currently have in your hands, be it for you, your children and those around you. HOW ARE YOU LIVING? And answer yourself honestly. See we must be brutally honest with ourselves regarding the role we play in our own chaos, healing and deliverance from the things that have had our lives in somewhat of a chokehold for far too long. The time is NOW to lock -in and do a check-up and to start leaning into the LIFE you see for yourself. Did you know that if you can find a way to SEE IT it can become your reality? I remember wanting a specific color range rover or fancy SUV…. I use to say it all the time I am going get a WHITE SUV, I can see myself driving this or that, I said it so much that when the opportunity presented itself for me to get a new car the one with the best deal was WHITE, LUXURY, SUV ultimately. …. The crazy part is if you know me then you know I was NOT in the market for a new car when I got the car, I am driving …… I was taking my last car which was still new to get an oil change and looking around the show room when it happened. ……. You gotta SEE IT and if you don’t take a minute to SEE the life you LIVE NOW you will never be able to SEE the life you are destined to LIVE LATER.

As you think of these questions today and the others that will flood your mind as a result of this reading I challenge you to pick up your LIFE CUP, FINISH ITS CURRENT CONTENTS and THEN RINSE IT. Rinse it , clean it , dry it and prepare it for the upcoming pour because I believe today your tastebuds for life will change. You can worry all day long, you can be bitter, upset and even complain about what was and what is not to your liking today, but every time you do you discredit the blessing of LIFE in the now.

It won’t be perfect ….

It won’t always be what you desire immediately …. but with a few simple changes you can shift the way LIFE looks NOW until it becomes what you desire to SEE.

Stay close to the truth and transparency …. be mindful of what you allow in and what you give out.

Finally, don’t be distracted by busyness and comparison. You were given the current life because you are strong enough to live it and don’t you ever forget it.

Live Well my friends, LIVE WELL!

With Love,

R. Rene’
