Choosing love against all the odds

I watched an inspiring documentary on the weekend called "Love on the Transplant List". Without giving away too much detail (in case you decide to watch it), it follows the story of a young couple in England who are in love. The very distinguishing difference between their relationship is that 21-year-old Kirstie suffers from Cystic Fibrosis. The conditions of the disease and the hardships that are endured by the couple are unreal but they also make you realise and appreciate all the things that one would normally take for granted, like breathing. However, the thing that struck me as the most heartwarming is how this couple explained their love for each other. No question about it. They went in to the situation knowing the potential, life-threatening outcome but as the husband stated, he wanted to be with the one he truly loved, even if it was only for a short time, rather than be with the wrong person for a lifetime.

That single thought should be reiterated to many people in relationships today. It was a profound moment for me. A display of true love.

Is that cash, credit or slavings?

Once upon a time, when i worked in retail i was caught up in the whirlwind that involved trying to balance my part time earnings (while i studied) with my never ending spending. Time and time again i had to ask people at the cash register the same question of how they would part with their money to purchase their new found clothing. Would they be paying with cash, credit card or a savings account. For many it seemed credit was the most viable option, which i never understood as i believe it's the equivalent of spending money you don't have so you have no business in spending it anyway, but each to their own i suppose. Finally one customer came to make his purchase and i asked that famous question: "Will that be cash, credit or savings?" He answered with a sigh, "don't you mean slavings?!" I laughed back and thought how right he was. I guess for some people it really does feel that way. It made me think, in a way he was right. Aren't...

How is your life looking?

The question below is one that i have asked myself, as i imagine everyone has at some point; is life good? Am I happy? What makes me happy? What am i doing with my life? The answer, as it turns out, can be simple: yes or no. Without thinking too much about it and getting caught up in all the variables that can affect our happiness, we should focus on these two potential paths. If life is good, then that's good. Keep doing what you're doing and don't ever look back, but if life is not good, one must change something. Do something different so that you can improve your life and keep changing things until your answer to the same question becomes a yes. Source:  http://tinyurl.com/o5ch5fm
