What Is Life All About? | Filed under General

“Life isn’t about keeping score. It’s not about how many friends you have. Or how many people call you. Or how accepted or unaccepted you are. Not about if you have plans this weekend. Or if you’re alone. It isn’t about who you’re dating, who you use to date, how many people you’ve dated, or if you’ve ever dated at all. It isn’t about who you have kissed. It’s not about sex. It isn’t about who your family is or how much money they have. Or what kind of car you drive. Or where you’re sent to school. It’s not about how beautiful or ugly you are. Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to. It’s not about the color of your hair. Or if your skin is too light or too dark.

Not about what grades you get, how smart you are, how smart everyone else thinks you are, or how smart standardized tests say you are. Or if this teacher likes you, or if this guy/girl likes you. Or what clubs you’re in, or how good you are at your sport.

But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It’s about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully. It’s about keeping or betraying trust. It’s about friendship, used as sanctity, or as a weapon. It’s about whatyou say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening. It’s about starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip. It’s about what judgements you pass and why. And who your judgements are spread to.

It’s about who you’ve ignored with full control and intention. It’s about jealousy, fear, pain, ignorance, and revenge. It’s about carrying inner hate and love, letting it grow and spreading it.

But most of all, it’s about using your life to touch or poison other people’s hearts in such a way that could never have occured alone. Only you choose the way these hearts are affected and those choices are what life is all about.”

Make your choices carefully and make them count….You never know when you smile that first time what impression you just made and the impact you just made on someone…..You never know if that loud voice may have just reminded that small child of a very bad time in their life…..You never know when that hug might be the one so much needed….You never know when you answer that phone what will come from that conversation…..you just never know we all have choices to make and they are OUR choices some are so difficult but making those choices and growing is what Life Is all About just PLEASE be proud YOU make the Right choices in YOUR LIFE and may LIFE BE SIMPLY GOOD

    Hey, sugah. I forget how our paths crossed initially, but I’m sure glad to know you. My favorite is still Auntie Mame’s advice to Patrick: “Life’s a banquet and most of the poor sucker’s are starving to death.”
