Why do all good things come to an end?

Why does all good things in life come crashing down? Why do people who are madly in love and get married, cant find the love the got married for? Does love also require work or it just comes with an expiry date? Does pain always follow Joy?

My opinion is that, like all things around us be it our furniture or our leaking roofs, everything needs constant upkeep and love is no exception, we got to keep the flame going, through stormy weather and sunny days, Love grows and I am not talking about the intensity, I am talking about love like us grows into different stages, from puppy love to teenage love to courtship love to husband and wife love, it needs to be watered, fertilized, and it needs sunlight, to grow. We need to understand that sacrifice is a part of love, compromise is a part of love, give and take is a part of love. I guess like all other things in life the key is to keep expecting nothing and giving everything. Maybe then you can live life with love having no regrets. Knowing you have done your bit and the person watching us all will do the rest, gives us Hope in an hopeless world.

Reinventing Life.

Life as we know it has become monotonous and mundane, do we we even care about what's happening around us? Have we forgotten how to live? Are we too busy to help ourselves?

Life needs to be lived in all its fullest glory, take time to smell the flowers, make someone smile, help an elderly person cross the road, pay for someone's lunch, give a hug to someone who needs it, say i love you to people whom you love and mean it, pray for people who can't stand you, connect with an old friend, learn to play a musical instrument, if you know one, learn a song and play it for someone who cares for you, listen to someone who needs listening, play a sport, start a hobby, watch the sun rise, help someone with their chores, laugh a lot, smile a lot, be spontaneous, do things on the spur of the moment, always look for adventures, make others around you happy, yeah, live life in moments not years, spread joy and happiness for then you will be really be living life. Walk the wild side, brave the untamed, step away from the causeway, for in the unknown lies mysteries that will make your life worth it. Reinvent yourself, reinvent life, taste that very last drop, for then you will never ever have regrets, Dare to be different. Be Yourself and live every day as if it were your last.

Why can't we keep the promises made to ourself?

Why do we repeatedly fail to go to the gym? Why do we fail again and again in our attempts to eat right?

I think that doing things right over a period of time consistently is an habit, so like all habits, these have to be done repeatedly over a point of time, remember that this is the most difficult and crucial time for you success, once we get past this stage, things grow on us, and secondly just turning up is better than not turning up at all, to elaborate this, everyone of us, have these days where we had too much to do the previous day and we just don't want to go to the gym, or feel like working out, but it is very important for us to just turn up at the gym, or the jogging track, ready for the workout, maybe the exercise for that day may be toned down but it is important not to skip and be regular, so that it becomes an habit, and thirdly, mentally keeping yourself motivated is very important if you have to lose weight, you got to keep imagining yourself thinner, leaner, and always have a mental picture of how you want to look in your mind so you stay focused for longer periods of time, use that motivation to drive you to a leaner and fitter you and fourthly use the positive responses from people, like "Matt, you look thinner today?" to push yourself further, convert all the positive vibe into positive energy, and then use the positive energy to work harder. Fifthly, believe in yourself, to achieve what you have set out to do, think of what fun you can have if you looked like you wanted, always prioritise yourself as important. Never give up. Failure is the stepping stone for success, the more you fail the more the chances of you making it. NEVER EVER GIVE UP.
