Shift your thoughts into a more positive perspective and start really appreciating your life. Find gratitude for all the pain you have experienced in your past and appreciate all the joy that there is to come. Life isn't mapped out to be filled with a bunch of easy shortcuts. You have to work at creating the life you have always long to live. The only way you are going to get to that point is if go after what it is you strive to be. You have all you need right within you to make the changes you need to apply to your life. Don't seek to find it else where or depend on someone else to do it for you. You have to be passionate about your life and you have to have a hunger for what it is you want. You also need to learn to roll with the punches because life can be messy but it can also can be absolutely beautiful! It's all in how you look at life and it's all in how much you appreciate it. Do your best to live your best life!  ~ Melanie Koulouris
