Your Best Life Now!

"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

John 10:10

Have you ever sat back and evaluated your life from birth until now? Took a walk down memory lane? Did you run into those times in life where you didn’t want to remember because the pain was so bad? Or times when joy filled your life and you wanted it to never end? I’m sure you can think of times when it took all you had just to survive. I find myself at times, on many of these "memory trips".

I can vividly remember times of grave distress when I experienced the death of a loved one. The pain of emptiness as I tried to come to grips with their absence. Or the time when sickness entered my body and fear reared its ugly head again.

One guarantee is that if you live, life will happen! But do we have a choice in the matter? Can we buy exemptions from life happening to us? What is the secret to living and living your best life? Is it a matter of choice or is it predestined?

It was once said that to enjoy life is to have the best life. What exactly is the best life? Glad you asked. "Best" is defined as "the highest quality and superiority available", according to Webster's Dictionary. The best life involves having a quality attitude and making superior life choices instead of relying on external variables such as money, success or fame.

If I’d asked you the question, "Would you like a million dollars"?, I’d probably get an emphatic "Yes!" Visions of no more money worries or "I can retire now!" will dance in your head. Your yes was actually a decision. A decision to chose relief or best in life.

Now imagine this life situation. Your mate has just informed you of a secret affair. Divorce is inevitable. You feel betrayed, devalued, and violated. You’re left alone to pick up the pieces. The road to healing and recovery is painful at best. What do you do? Do you give up? Call it quits? Throw in the towel or do you choose the better - to live and create an exciting future. Life goes on but not without you making the decision to.

Attitude and choice is the power team combination that propels one to living your best life now! To experience, you must look to the real source of life. Many think there are many ways to achieve but real men and women carry the secret inside. They have a relationship with God, the author and creator of life, who enables and empowers.

Their attitude of dependence, faith, and confidence yields the fruits of the best life – joy, peace, success, longevity, and yes prosperity. It’s a process so they take one day at a time. With discipline, dedication, and persistence they soon reap the harvest of their labor.

I challenge you to stop, look, revisit, meditate, formulate, reciprocate and then partake of the Heavenly – the secret to living your best life now!
