"I want my life, my work, my family to mean something. If you are not making someone else's life better than you are wasting your time. Your life will become better by making someone else's life better. Be inspired. There is a concept of loss and how we react to loss. We think of things in a straight line: birth, life, death. And then you think, oh i die, it's over. it's not really how it works. Take the ends and bend them in a circle. It's birth, life, death, REBIRTH. So you have to be prepared...when you lose something... you go though adivorce, when your mother dies, when you lose your house, you have to understand that nature has it no other way. There is a rebirth. The death is painful. There is no changing the pain of the death. But you have to stay awake and stay focused for what's the rebirth that God is about to offer you." Will Smith
I am sitting here on a rainy Wednesday watching recorded episodes of Oprah. Most of the episodes lately focusing on the election and the outcome of the election. Anyway, I really found Will Smith's words so poignant. I love personal training because of the impact and the change I bring to these people's lives. and now, I am going to pursue nursing and have even more chances to make someone else's life better.
