If ever a World needed this advice, it's now.
I was tempted to use this as my answer to Twitter's trending #MakeLifeBetterInThreeWords challenge. I take everything as a challenge, of course. Therefore, this is what came to mind.
It may sound simple. Perhaps, it seems too simplistic. It is and isn't. I use it as reminders every day of how to live my life and hope it clicks with someone else.
STOP...
Worrying about what others will think of you.
Thinking others are better or worse than you, especially only due to skin.
Wasting time on whatever isn't giving you joy or helping someone else.
Comparing what you have or don't have to others. It's just 'stuff'.
Being ready to fight instead of listening and talking. Pick your battles.
Being unkind to your body, mind, and spirit. Build and strengthen them.
Using your body, mind and spirit as a trash can for the World.
Stop blaming others, including parents, for your life as an adult.
DROP...
Whatever you are doing that is causing you pain.
Whoever you are with that is causing you pain.
The things that take up most of your time away from God.
The habit that makes you feel ashamed of yourself.
Thoughts of harming yourself.
Thoughts that take you away from Love and Charity and Peace.
The idea that your life must be the same as everyone else's. It's not.
It's YOURS.
ROLL...
With the punches Life will inevitably give you.
Away from what you know is harmful.
Toward what you know is beneficial to you and others.
Out of the way when you sense trouble is on the horizon.
Up your time and effort to benefit others and yourself.
Out the Welcome Mat for strangers who need to be acknowledged, i.e. SMILE!
Around laughing. If there's a kid around doing it, join them! If you know them!
What I'm saying isn't the Meaning of Life, won't cure cancer, and doesn't guarantee a pain-free life. It's a start to thinking of our lives in a different manner that may or may not result in a perceived good life. It's a way of thinking of being better, having better, and doing better with our lives that is followed by action. It's not rocket-surgery.
There's a young lady who is doing some soul-searching, learning and trying to help others in the same way on YouTube who is shifting her channel from strictly make-up and hair to more of the above. She is now reaching out to others to help answer questions she, herself, may have already answered.
Her name is Brittney Gray (@BrittneyGray) and she recently posted her intent to do this. I hope it gives her and her followers a glance at the control they actually do have over parts of their lives and acceptance of those they don't. All of that brings a Peace I pray for everyone. Check it out at:
