Ready or Not: Welcome To Life (Welcome to Life Challenge)

Well, here you are. Ready or not. Like it or not. Life is going to be what you make it. It is going to happen to you or you can make it happen.

Doctors may issue survival rates and chances of living. I say we have a 100 percent chance at living but only a fifty percent chance of survival every single day. You have no guarantees that life will be waiting with open arms for you tomorrow.

I have no advice as to what great and mighty path you should take, that will be left to you. But embrace all that life has to offer. Love it. Laugh at it. Dance with it. Shout at it. Scream if you must, but be passionate in all that you do.

Gump compared life to a box of chocolates, “You never know what you’re going to get.” Set goals and reach for the stars. You never know when you just might catch one. Just remember, surprises are nice. You never hear of anyone throwing an “accident” party.

Life comes and goes in a flash. Make every moment count. Make friends. Make memories. Make an impact. Change the world.
