Cynics and Dreamers

I watched a movie today; "Big Fish." It made me think about something. The difference between cynics and dreamers; between the readiness to accept the facts in life while appreciating the existence of fiction.

I myself have always been a dreamer and do believe that while a cynic may survive in this life, a dreamer will thrive; being full of hope and the perserverence, the ambition and drive to pursue their dreams. A cynic will not see the magic and miracles in the world, being blinded by their close-minded beliefs.

Dreamers see magic in the blooming of a flower, the first cry of a newborn child, or the first snowfall of the year. A cynic may only see just another weed in the yard, an annoying new noise, or make a sound of dismay at the inconvenience at the appearance of white stuff on the ground.

So this day and everyday from now on... Be a dreamer and thrive in this life, not a cynic whose life merely passses them by.

A Toast To Moments

A smart woman once said, "Don't measure your life by the number of breaths you take, but rather the number of moments that take your breath away." My advice to you is to live the coming years and all those after by these words.

This year I will see the breathtaking views. I'll enjoy that kiss that knocks me off my feet; make me weak in the knees. I'll have nights I'll never remember with the people I'll never forget. I'll make new friends. Quit tying myself to those who can only hold me back.

This year YOU should laugh more freely. Love more openly; like you've never been hurt. Kiss with everything that you have. LIVE YOUR LIFE. IT IS MUCH TOO SHORT NOT TO.
