I learned something today:<br /> Love yourself, and love others as if they were me.<br /> Smile lots, and spread joy.<br /> Be truthful, be compassionate, be patient, and be forgiving.<br /> Live with the big heart you were born with.<br /> Don't worry so much what others think of you.<br /> Laughter is the best medicine to get through the day.<br /> Take one day at a time.<br /> If you like that person, hurry up and show it.<br /> Make sure you count your blessings everyday.<br /> <br /> I describes myself as adventurous, romantic and warm hearted. My outlook on life is optimistic, traditional and spiritual and my goals are family, career and knowledge. I like to hang out with creative people, cultured people and I get along with all typs of different people. I enjoy eating asian, Italian and healthy food. I prefer to listen to country, easy listening, gospel,80's and 90's music. <br /> <br /> I am a firm believer in living life, that there is a huge difference between living and simply existing. There are many reasons to live in the moment or in the present, but first it's important to note that even that term doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. For me living life in the present is part of living life to the fullest. The two aren't exact synonyms, but they are closely related. You can't live life to the fullest if you don't even know how to slow down and live in the moment. For some people living in the moment means just slowing down and pacing through the day with more deliberation. Others believe living in the moment automatically means looking for a little adventure, a little something extra to make that day a little different and more distinct than a normal run through the schedule day. Learning to live in the moment can mean getting up early to enjoy the beauty of an early sunrise, going for a hike instead of watching TV, or picking up a hobby that destroys any trace of boredom . . . or maybe it's time for a long adventurous vacation. There are many reasons to enjoy life, many adventures both big and small to embrace. But part of being able to enjoy life to its fullest is to master the skill of Goal Setting, and then live life chasing and accomplishing those goals/dreams!<br /> <br /> Favorite Quotations:<br /> &quot;Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.&quot; <br /> -John Wesley
