Stay Awake.
In my short time on earth, I have come to realize when I am “awake” I have the opportunity to experience life. Please stay awake. I am not talking about avoiding sleep; sleep deprivation over a long period of time can be dangerous. I am talking about in your day-to-day life, please stay aware to all that is coming into your experience.
When I am awake, aware, and conscious to Life, I get to truly experience life. The good, bad, and indifferent. The deep experiences I have today allow me to feel and know true gratitude. Where is this true in your life? Where are you grateful for being engaged in life? Today please stay awake, and help us stay awake here at CYLF.
