| Your Life.....

Do you ever wonder where you are heading in your life? Have you ever looked back on the life you've lived so far and wondered what your life would be like now if you had just taken that one chance or possibly not done that one thing that you know you shouldn't have done?
So many people seem to be upset with their lives these days and when I try and tell them that life has a way of working itself out, they don't believe me.
I had a friend back in high school who was a pretty depressed person. None of us knew this at the time because he was able to hide it really well. He always had a smile on his face and he was always ready to talk and say something funny. He was just a great guy and even though he wasn't a really popular guy, most people liked him. He wasn't a jock or a ladies man but he just had a way of getting along with everyone.
One evening after a school event, he went home and for reasons that nobody will ever know, he hung himself in a barn outside of his home. Needless to say, this was a major shock to everyone who knew him and even today, we ask ourselves why. Such a waste of a good person and such a heart break for the people he left behind.
I have always been the type of person that people come to for advice. I always try and give them what I feel is correct advice and I always try and ask them what's on their mind. Since my friend committed suicide, I try and convey the message that when your life seems at the point of no return, just wait. Wait for the next possibility to show itself and watch for the next event in your life that will turn it all around.
Life is not written in stone. Life is an evolving journey that has every possibility in the world and even if you are at a point where you think you're stuck, just wait. There will always be a better day around the corner, a better way of dealing with problems and better people who will talk to you and help you through trouble.
When you're having a bad day, don't let it get to you. Learn from that day so that you can help others who are in your position. Let them know that they aren't the only ones going through hard times and that they will get through that day just as you will.
So many people are in a bad place right now. Do you know of one? Sometimes they don't show it so maybe you should ask. Today on your way to work or school why not say something to someone who seems to be having a bad day. Just say hi and see where it leads.
We are all here for a reason and maybe your reason is to help someone.
