When Was the Last Time Something Took Your Breath Away?

Do you know what it feels like to have something totally take your breath away?  ... well a sunset just took mine away.  Yes, my breath was taken away on Friday night when the radiant orange, blushing red, and glistening gray sky parked itself right in front of me and slowly dissipated perfectly before my bare eyes into the night.  Because my mindset was in the right place - it became a very romantic experience. 

As the shades were changing, the color of the setting was like the  inside of the mango I had enjoyed for breakfast that morning, and I could taste the sweetness of the mango bursting inside my mouth; and it just lingered there for a while.  The sunset ran horizontally across the sky and suddenly dropped off magically into the melodic river, just behind the brush of the slightly bending trees. The ducks were there too, and let me tell you, they melodically put on a rhythmic marching show that amplified the ambiance and heightened the experience.  It was just what the doctor ordered:  peaceful, cathartic, invigorating, and free.  The aroma was breath taking and the encounter energizing.  It was peaceful, simple, and yet very vigorous and powerful!  And the good thing about it, it will do the same exact thing again the next day.  So it doesn't matter what went on today, the sun will still rise and set tomorrow.  For tomorrow is always waiting to be explored and experienced, it's just a matter of your mindset and how you plan to experience it!

Remember, the simple things in life are free:  they are there for our enjoyment, but sometimes we have to stop long enough to "smell the roses" and enjoy them along the way. So I challenge you today to take the time to find your breath of fresh air:  embrace it, cherish it, love it, and stop making things more complicated than it has to be.  And if nothing in your surrounding takes your breath away then it’s time for you to reassess what’s really essential to you, and what you are "viewing" as important on a daily basis.

Go out and enjoy life!  Have something take your breath away. Better yet, choose to experience something taking your breath away while  spending time with someone who makes your heart string tingle. Know that I care, I want to help, and I want to see you progress in life so you can reach your ultimate happiness and success.
