Live, Love, Laugh
THREE L’s: LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE.
James Paul R. Aquino
"LIVE LOVE LAUGH" was what it said. It made me smile and think how simple those words are, yet how serious they are. I wondered how and if I could have or do all three, simultaneously. What I discovered was it was something that came from within. Neither can you be taught to laugh and love.
LIVE
We really need to LIVE our lives to their fullest. Be good to yourself, your family and others. Be big in behavior, not small. Think mature, not immature. Keep your head about you. Consider carefully Abraham Lincoln’s thought that "in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” Or roll Oscar Wilde’s thought around during the day: “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” It is not at all necessary to do or have grand things to live well. All you must have is freedom and accuracy of perception and appreciation. Celebrate how great life is. The world is a beautiful place to be. Colorful. Stimulating. Interesting. With ample curiosities to keep busy for a lifetime, each thing leading to another.
LAUGH
Once you have learned to live, you can laugh and enjoy life’s moments, embrace who you are, and the things around you. Laughter makes you live longer. Laugh a little. Honestly, you will actually enjoy laughter. Your laughter can really bring someone’s day back to life, starting with your own. Think less about yesterday’s mess and think more about the good that awaits you. When you are feeling down, remember something funny that happened in your life. Laughter brightens up your day and maybe the person’s sitting next to you. Laughter helps us to live and makes it easy to love.
LOVE
To live and to laugh is to love. You have finally arrived. Love means to empower, to be compassionate, to be loyal, and to show concern for others. You have to love yourself first before you can truly love another person. Love and embrace the person you
