The following was an e-mail sent to me from my Mom. After reading it, I felt I had a better understanding on life and what our purpose is. Take a moment to read the following with an open mind.

As the saying goes “It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile”. With that being said, I want to take the opportunity to express how important it is to smile every day. It can communicate feelings such as: love, happiness, pride, contempt, and embarrassment.

Your world… your Universe is what you make it.

Take what I just said into deep thought. You surround yourself with what you want. If you choose to live a happy life, you think of positive things. You may be the person who says “I have the worst luck ever.” No, there’s no luck, there’s you. You may not know it, but what happens is you think negative thoughts and attract the badness to you.

Let me use my life as an example. (more…)

I recently read a poem that really touched me. The basis of the story is about how you spend your life.
