Live to be the "Whole" you...not just a "Part" of you!

"If we bought something and it functioned at ten percent of its capacity,
we would not hesitate to return it for something fully functioning.
And yet, many of us have lived for years as a fragment of our full selves.
Are we that patient, have we settled for something a 'part' of us believed
was 'enough' or are we merely asleep, just walking...still walking?"

Think about that. Seriously. How come the hustle & bustle gets so many people down? Because they go ahead and let it! Don't let it get to you. Slow down, take a deep breath and find your joys! They will bring you to the "WHOLE" you that you were intended to be. Not sure how to do this? Start giving more of yourself to those around you. Really start seeing people for who they are and not what they do or who they're with or who they know. Listen, learn and love! Those things are what will bring you closer to the complete you. It requires daily upkeep to get it going and that isn't easy, but it can be accomplished.

A new week starts tomorrow...a new you can start today!

When I read this:

I took this to heart - to mean that if we walk around in a daze NOT completely happy with our lives...but we act as if we are completley content --- then we need to realize that we're onl "part happy" and should do whatever it is that makes us completely whole - NOT part whole!

Sometimes we act as if we're just so happy with the way things are when inside we're fighthing our true feelings. Let those true feelings out. Be whole!! Whatever it takes and however hard that is!
