I just came across a site called Pravs World. It describes itself as “the world’s largest web group for content that relates to life.” Though some of its messages are religious, most of them contain secular advice on how to make the most of your life. (Check them out under the ‘xperience pravs world’ link.)
These inspirational websites and blogs are becoming quite popular in the online world. Why is that? Perhaps when times are troubling - international war, poverty and cruelty towards each other - many of us are seeking the positive. Life comes with a lot of pain, but it also comes with a lot of happiness and truth. Getting out of bed every morning even when things seem to be falling all around you comes from recognizing that and choosing to live for every moment we have.
As someone who has recently lost a very dear loved one, I am constantly reevaluating what I do with the time I have here on Earth. Am I stressing over the “small stuff” that doesn’t really matter? Am I developing relationships and giving love that will resonate even when I am gone? It is a struggle, but you only get this one life, this one chance to be you. What will you do with it?
