Something To Live For – Belladonna’s Flashlight

Searching for that something to give you hope!

What are we good for if we are hopeless and feel as though we have nothing to live for?

The power of hope can change your view on life, and the ugliest things begin to appear beautiful. But that will never happen if you don’t change how you think. Being negative or too scared to take chances will ultimately lead you into a self-made prison.

On the darkest days, you must find a reason to keep going.

You fell off your diet~ So what keep going

You failed at something~ So what keep going

No one but you believes in you~ So what keep going

You can’t see the finish line~ So what keep going

You are your only motivator ~ So what keep going

Search for the hope you need to keep going!

We all need that something (s) to live for. When we stop setting goals for ourselves, we lose the want and desire to live. Every day starts to look the same.

All hope is lost when your day consists of waking up, cleaning, cooking, going to the grocery store, watching tv, sleeping, and repeating tomorrow; that schedule will sink any ship. Refusing to be complacent will lead you to set goals that will better your life and others around you.

This leads me to today’s prompt.

Daily writing prompt
What are you most excited about for the future?

Goal setting makes me feel excited and gives me something to live for. My future self will be happy with all the late hours and hard work I am doing today.

But this isn’t about me.

I look forward to seeing my kids walk across the stage with their college degrees, watching my son play football, watching my daughter play soccer and basketball, having more HUGE Christmas Eve dinners, and more summer vacations. But most of all, I’m looking forward to spending the rest of my life helping others to find something to live for.

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!
