I've been thinking a lot about how I feel, and how our mood, and thinking, directly affects how we feel (I should get an award for captin obvious)
However, I realised something big, very very big. Not all people may agree with my outlook. But this is how I have come to see life. In a different light.

Today.
The opportunity to make it better is everywhere if we choose to act and open our eyes. Better Is seeing a void and filling it, somehow. Hearing a call for help, and answering it, however difficult it may be.
Taking a wrong and making it into a right
It's as small as smiling at someone, its as big as changing the world.
Better is giving people the time you can give them, stay impartial and empathetic. Making a difference in thier life.
Better is a call to action, a rallying cry. Fearless. Determined. Passionate.
It is searching within yourself, reaching out to others. Heading straight into the eye of the storm if you have to. Adventuring out into the middle of nowhere in unfamiliar places. AND doing so with purpose.
So when the sun sets, and we think about what tommorow will bring, we understand that better is not what we do. It is who we are.
Thanks for this!

It's like one of those things that have been in front of you all along but because I was busy trying too hard I didn't see it lol

Thank you though, every word is true.

Just to clarify. this is by no means the "law" of anything. It is just my views, my words and my thoughts. No-one has to listen to it, or even think about it. It really helped me. And I honestly hope it can help others.
