What is your Philosophy on life?

Mine is "Life is like a roller coaster, incredible highs, terrible lows, but OH what a ride!". Some movie had a saying like that and it struck a chord in me. And by the way I am a roller coaster freak, the bigger the better. I mean I know life gets hard sometimes but we all have it in us to get past things and move on, after all the alternative does not look enticing. I am going to go out of this life kicking and screaming!

I believe that we have to live each day to the fullest, as you never know what the next day will bring. Life with it's many ups and downs has also taught me to remember that I cannot change what happened yesterday, I cannot predict what will happen tomorrow, but I do have control of today and what I will do with it's blessings, joys and sorrows. I remember to tell the people in my life whom I care about that I love them on a daily basis, whether it is a family member or an online friend. I do live by the rule that God only gives us what we can handle and will make us stronger. And last but not least, I remind myself every day, that this too shall pass.

Yes, this is all true. I find too many people these days just whine about this and that. And I know sometimes things get hard, but we just have to move on. Also people who hold grudges amaze me beacuse they do not know they are harming only themselves, not the person they are mad at.

I believe that whatever you do to others it will be done unto you. That is why its safe not to do bad things to others for time will come that we will experience it also. Its better and safe to do good things so you wont be asked to pay for it instead people will also do it to you. Thats life...

Oh Yes, I do belive that waht you do comes back to haunt you. Too many people go thru life not thinking of the consequences. I prefer to stay on the high road.

Yeah, I think that we are both on the same roller coaster, just a twin one, like Dueling Dragons at Islands of Adventure. Since we both LOVE roller coasters, that could be why! LOL I will be kicking and screaming with you!!!!!
