Reach!

Have you ever wanted to raise your hand in class let it be for any reason, but you felt "too shy" to actually do it? I know I've been in that situation. The only reason most of us don't do it because we don't want to answer wrong or we are afraid what our classmates will think of our response. Now thats called inhibiting yourself and showing importance to your fears. So what if the answer is wrong and why does it matter what your classmates will think? Don't think that oh I "can't" change that. Yes you can! Its only about trying.

Remember you only live once so raise that hand up high in the air, answer with confidence, don't think about it twice, and just do life! 

Rain rain go away?

Have you ever wanted to dance in the rain? It's a perfect summer afternoon as the sun shines brightly down, and you're sitting on your back porch reading a book or shooting hoops with your friends. Suddenly, it gets really dark and you see storm clouds luring in the distance. In a way you're kind of glad because it will get cooler and shady. However, at the same time you are thinking I wouldn't mind cooling off in the rain. You're in a dilemma should I run inside quickly before it starts to pour or should I stay outside and embrace the rain. Now do what you may, but life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dancing in the rain!

Remember you only live once so spread your arms, let the rain fall, pick your best dance moves, and just do life!

Smile it's addicting!

Have you ever had the urge to smile at a stranger just because its something polite to do? You never actually did it because you're afraid of how that person will perceive it or you don't want to be that "weird" one smiling at everyone that walks by you. Trust me when I say this, your smile is the best accessory you can EVER wear and it should be utilized as often as possible. Its the fact of life, everyone wants to be around a happy person because they exude a positive energy that is addicting, and you know that it puts you in a better mood when a random stranger smiles at you. A smile is understood by every culture, race, and religion. Its most common thing that defines human behavior. Let go of your inhibitions, fears, or what others will think of you. Smile as often as you can because it will make such a difference to the person your smiling at.

Remember you only live once so start making that little upward curve with your lips daily, show the world how you feel, and just do life!
