37. Tell us a valuable
life lesson you learned in 2012
From Natalie Murphy
“It
sounds cliche, but don’t take your life for granted. Days shouldn’t be lost or
thrown away thinking we have endless buckets of them. I’m not being morbid, we
just don’t know what’s around the corner. We always think ‘the really bad
things’ happen to everyone else, not to us. But we are ‘everyone else’. We all
have to appreciate our life. It’s a blessing. If there is something you have
always wanted to do, go and do it! Make it happen. Make the most of everyday.
Stop making excuses. Stop and smell the roses. Watch the sunset. Watch the
sunrise. As I said earlier, Yesterdays history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is
a gift…that’s why it’s called the ‘present’.
One of
my favourite sayings is now my life’s motto…
Life is
not about the number of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath
away.
You’ve
been told, with love.”
