Living Your Best Life

Living your best life is about trying not to let things knock you down and being able to stay strong and carry on when things try to do that. Like above "when life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show them you have a thousand reasons to smile." It means trying to accept your flaws and live with them, something I am trying to teach myself. 

As cheesy as it sounds you only live once, so you need to embrace every moment you have. I do this by trying to photograph everything I do, whether it be from an early morning run to a picnic with friends. You have to try and challenge yourself and fulfil things you'd never thought you'd do. For example I never thought I'd go surfing, but now I have a soft board yeah im not skilled or coordinated at all but I enjoy looking like a complete idiot. 

A lot of the simple things, like having fun with nature, in our lifestyles are now overlooked because of consumerism and people's materialistic wants and needs. But what if all a person needs is to go for a walk and smell fresh air? To get up an hour earlier and live an hour longer? What of that's all we really need?

We need to learn to start accepting ourselves and what is truly important, and what is this? Trying as many new things as possible and taking each day as it comes. Taking a break from trying to be something we are not and trying out things that make us, us. Things that we'd never thought we'd do, and living our best lives.
