So what is life all about? What is the point, mission, objective, purpose, meaning? Have you ever sat back and thought about what life actually is to you? Maybe you have and maybe you haven’t. Either way you need to know what the most important basics are and how to use them.

So in the most simplistic form, life is about living. Life is about building memories that you want to remember. Too often we wake up in the morning and start our day off in the wrong mind set. Let’s face it, 9 out of 10 times we wake up in every mood other then a positive one; we are tired, we are stressed, we are rushed, we don’t want to go to work, we don’t want to go to school, we have to get our kids ready, and all the other relevant ways we wake up with other then smiling and ready to go have a fun filled great day.

The concept seems so easy, and is so understandable when you say it, but actually doing it seems so challenging. Why is it so easily forgotten in the course of time that we go to bed to the moment we open our eyes and view the new day? We tend to let the smallest things in our day to day doings allow us to loose focus on the most important things of all; the things that make us smile.

What matters most is doing what you enjoy and that makes you happy. This is the single most important basic of life. You need to understand that when you are choosing a career, creating a family, making plans and whatever else, that you need to keep in mind if it is going to let you enjoy your day and build those memories that you want to remember.

Write this down on your bathroom mirror, make a post it note and put it next to your computer, or however you can that you never loose focus. Now go out and start building memories you want to remember.

*Next discussion will be on “Understanding why we are able to smile and what we are able to do with it”
