We live in a world where we lose things. Things break and things die. People in our lives move on or pass on. Opportunities come and go. You reach a certain point in your life where you finally realize that your time is minimal in this world and you need to make the best of every moment.

In my 30’s and finding myself for the 3rd time, I realized something. The world is still full of beautiful things. I can find love better than ever before. I can find work in the craziest places. Money will be less of a problem for me, not because I make more but because I worry less about it.

Taking such an aggressively positive turn on my life has had its challenges. Though every one of those challenges I feel myself getting stronger. Through all the ups and downs I realize, even more now, that everything happens for a reason and I am more aware of that then I have ever been. Things are happening all around me and all I have to do is take advantage of them. Find what I want in life and take it.

I know normally I write as advice but I am learning too. These things are happening to me right now. Changes are happening in my life right now. I worked so hard to be on a cruise ship and something as simple as allergies has pulled me away from that. But without that experience I would have missed so many things in my life. I look at all that has happened and realize I would have missed all of it had I not tried this. My time working on a cruise ship was a lesson in my own life and a blessing to my future. I am finding myself; I will find love, and I will find my future direction. Most of all I am learning that when I do find something I need to go after it now. There is no more time to wait, just take what you want from life. Take that chance, go all in. If it was not meant to be then the adventure begins for you to take a chance on everything else that comes your way.

If you see an opportunity take it. Follow the signs in your life, follow your desires and interest, follow your dreams and positivism will be right there with you the whole time. Love your life and life will love you back. Embrace change in your life and take everything you can from every moment of it! If you don’t take a chance you will never get what you really want in life. You can still be positive when life gets really tough, but when an opportunity comes by to make it better you have to take it!
