You all know people who were just disgustingly happy all the time? They are not the best looking or the richest. You wonder what they are smoking before they come to work.
What is really going on, what is the secret to real happiness. (I'm one of those people who are disgustingly happy, but not pretty or rich, so I feel qualified to speak on this subject).
We are delt a hand of cards in this game of life and we have to play what we have. It's not like we can fold and start over, we have one shot. So we can choose to play our best game with the cards we have or we can morn the fact that our hand wasn't better.
No matter how much or how little we have there are plenty of people who have more or less than us. There are always people better looking and people who are not as good looking. There are people who are heavier than us and people who are leaner than we are.
In order to find happiness in your own skin, you have to accept who you are and you have to accept others for who they are. You have to accept them and yourself unconditionally. You don't have to like who they are or what they do but you have to accept that everyone has worth and is worth respect unless they forfit that respect with their actions.
You have a lot of options you can play with your cards. You may not have movie star looks but you can have a caring heart and an attitude that eveyday is special and worth living it to the fullest. You can let the people you are around all day know, by your actions and attitude toward them that you respect them. Respect is earned and you must earn your own respect before you can expect others to respect you.
When you wake up in the morning, have a plan for the day, but and this is an important but, have a flexiable plan. Things don't always go as planned so be prepared to adjust your plans if you need to, then you won't be so stressed if your plans are interupted.
Don't be devastated by the hurdles life throws at you. Do the best you can and accept that you did. A lot of things are just not in our hands to change. If you can say to yourself "I did the best I could", then accept that.
Our races we do are a good way for us to focus a part of our lifes. They give us a goal to work toward and a reward for doing good.
Have a wonderfull week WISH friends and remember that you are very special and to someone you mean everything.

I always thought you just gave it to someone who could use it or donated it to the Salvation Army!
