La Vie est Belle.

So have been told that life is filled with problems, pain, disappointment and despair. You have experienced these things. And you have believed the lie. You have been conditioned over time to believe that you must fight for survival. That you must get yours while you can.

That you can’t really hope to do anything more than just get by. You’ve been told about all the injustice in the world, and how unfair life is. All that is true on one level. All that is true but it is not. You have been lied to for a very long time. The higher truth is that la vie est belle (life is beautiful). Not just beautiful. Life is beauty. Beauty is life.

Life is beautiful and you know it. On some level, on many levels, you know it. On many levels you’ve experienced it for yourself. You’ve seen the beauty many times before. And every time you stop to take a look, every time you look closely, it’s still very much there. The vast majority of your experiences are beautiful. Think of all the things that happen each moment, in each fraction of a second, to keep you alive.

What makes life good? You live by assumptions, because you can’t think through every little decision every time you have to make it.

Your assumptions make it easier and quicker for you to make decisions. The problem with assumptions is, eventually they get outdated, or perhaps they were never really valid in the first place. But because you have become so used to them, they seem to you like truth. And you live with that assumed truth without even thinking about it.

It’s important to ask yourself, it’s important to know, it’s important to be aware and to keep in mind and to update on a regular basis, what makes life good for you. Because, you see, you have the ability to create those things. You have the ability to bring more of those good things into your life, to bring more of those things that do really, truly make life good for you.

Life is nothing but a big support system. Some of the things we tend to pass through makes us strong while others tend to tear us apart. Just make sure you help as many people as you can in your life time because guess what? You never know when that day will come and everything is falling apart. We will need somebody to pick us up and the right people to do so is those who you helped along the way. We shouldn’t be afraid of falling. It is sometimes a mistake to climb; it is always a mistake never even to make the attempt. If you do not climb, you will not fall. This is true. But is it that bad to fail, that hard to fall?

No it’s not bad to fall or fail. When we do fall we should never be afraid to ask. Because it takes only a real person to know no human can make it alone in life, and if you have lived your life right you will always have people to talk to, listen and help .

So I will leave this at that and urge you not to take your friends for granted because life is unpredictable and we never really know. Most importantly never ever take yourself for granted.
