Living

I am trying to understand why Living is so hard? We all want to live but it gets so hard at times. One minute you think you are clear and in peace. BOOM! something happens to interrupt your flow of peace.
Living life is learning to live but I get blind sided and wonder am I ever going to be truly happy?

God has given us this free will to live but it's truly hard when you don't have a great foundation. You are a walking temple placed in a world of sin. I have to guard my temple everywhere I go & every situation I am placed in by trying to live. I am being to realize that you do have to do a renewing of your mind everyday in order to make it in this world. When placed in situations you really have to move on in order to live in peace. You can't rethink or keep reliving each situations into the next day or it will consume you and make your living life miserable.

To truly live you have to stay in the mode of always restoring your temple. We have to focus on our actions, thinking, our resolve and develop habits to keep us strong, grounded, without being taken over by emotions or others. We will be challenged everyday with ourselves and others.

Living is simple if you have the right stuff within in you but it will always be hard. One thing I know that makes it simple for me is choosing what I will & will not accept from myself or others. That's really the basis of free will. Emotions will take over most of the time because we place so much meaning on things & other people.  No one wants to be selfish but reality is you have to be selfish it you really want peace & happiness. We seem to settle to much because of love but is it really love?

Living selfishly doesn't me you don't care but it means your putting yourself first in everything that will give you peace & happiness.  Some friendships, relationships, jobs, family are not worth losing your happiness.  People will be people when their emotions are involved in you. No one wants to loose someone that they have emotions invested in.  Being selfish will be a blessing, people won't like it but you'll be happy. Dropping the weight of others that are not traveling your way will free you for those that are going your way. Now enters peace & happiness. 

Live! Live! Live! You only get one shot make the best of it, don't let others drag your temple down. Remember John 14:8
