Everybody dies but not everybody lives.... Greatness is what we on the brink of

I have to take a step back, get my head out of the clouds and realize how lucky I am, So many people have it worse or it could just BE so much worse. I guess in life we become so comfortable with what we have the we want so much more and expect so much more. Instead too often we forget to take a step back and reevaluate from where we started from. Peace with your own mind is the most important part of living. Happiness with one's self should overpower evil and misery's company. Blood shot eyes, and dark circles don't last forever, it could always be worse. I am a lucky girl to have made a turn around and to have been given so many opportunities, with that said I want it to be known that I am grateful for every wrong/right/happy/sad moment in my life because it led me to where I am today, and it doesn't stop here. I trust enough to know that everything happens for a reason and this is the way it will stay for life. I will be thrown into situations that will make me happy or sad make me cry or laugh. sometimes it comes down to looking at the big picture and being able to tell yourself "your ready for this" looking in the mirror in the morning and telling yourself "get ready for this"
