Is life meant to be difficult...............? this is a question that was asked of me by a very close female friend of mine earlier non this week.She is someone who was there for me whenever I needed someone,in an emotional kind of way.Anyway - the question was aasked not,because she had a problem with something - but rather she asked me that question about my own life.

She asked me if I would get up in the morning with a positive outlook and tell myself that everything was ok.Or do i get out of bed with a positive outlook and MAKE SURE that evrything IS ok.

I wondered at the time if there was a difference.At that point in time i said 'there's no difference'

But having thought about it for a couple of days,I realise that there is a difference.You can get out of bed and look in the miror and tell yourself that today will be better than yesterday,and then go through the day not making an effort to make it any better,.Or you can get up in the morning and do the same thing and go through the day and MAKE SURE that you do whatever you can to make today better than yesterday.That 5 minute conversation made me realise now more than ever that your life is in your own hands and not those of others.Sure,in a work situation you have to do as you are told - but other than that?? You can do what YOU want to do,and not what you thing is wrong without even trying it.

I have noticed over the last week or so that there are so mainy SoulCasters out there who have got problems,major problems - worse than mine.It may not always be financial,but emotional or family related.

Is it not possible in some small minute way to get up in the morning and say to yourself,'i'm gonna make a difference in someone's life today,and if I cant do that,then I'll make a difference in my own life'

Those of you with children - I dont have any because I cant have - take 5 minutes out of your day to 'bond' with your child - successful or not.It will be spending 5 minutes more with them than you did yesterday.

Family is the most important structure to have in a time of emotional or physical distress.They can be there for you when you  need someone to lean and rely on.

I dont have a family - well I do,but they are living 15000 miles away in another country.So I have had to go through this whole hospital drama over the last year on my own.I had to go through the grieving process of  losing my wife on my own - not because I had to,but because I had no other choice.

So I decided that I was going to get up out of bed today and make a difference in someone's life today - and if I cant then I would make a difference in my own life.

For those of you who read this.Has it made you think....................?.
