A couple of months ago I stumbled across a photo on Facebook that I instantly fell in love with.  It has been ‘liked’ nearly 26,000 times in total, and has inspired over 4,500 people from around the globe to comment on it.

Unfortunately my computer is refusing to play by the rules at the moment, and won’t upload the picture (grr…).

So, instead of getting cross and stamping my feet (as I probably once would have done in the past), I’ve written it out below for you…

Enjoy!

Life Manifesto

“This is your life.  Do what you love, and do it often.  If you don’t like something, change it.  If you don’t like your job, quit.  If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV.  If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.  Stop over analysing – life is simple.  All emotions are beautiful.  When you eat, appreciate every last bite.  Open your mind, arms and heart to new things and people.  We are united in our differences.  Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them.  Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself.  Some opportunities only come once; seize them.  Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating.  Life is short.  Live your dream and share your passion.”
