			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst making coffee this morning, (I threw that whilst in for you <a href="http://smallpotatoesfornow.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Krista</a>), I was reminded of the fact that life is too short for a lot of things.  Here are some of them, in my humble opinion of course.</p>
<p><strong>Life is too short, to half-ass things.</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to do something, go all out.  Whether it&#8217;s making coffee, or exercising, or preparing a meal for family, or working, do it up as much as it can be done.</p>
<p><strong>Life is too short, to do things that you hate.</strong></p>
<p>I first came across this gem in a saying from the Gospel of Thomas.  The Christ said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t do what you hate to do.&#8221;  You have to appreciate the eloquence <img src='http://johnkowalsky.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   It&#8217;s true though.  And notice how it doesn&#8217;t say, if you have to do something you hate to do, don&#8217;t do it.  It says, don&#8217;t do what you hate to do.  Sometimes the lesson is in learning to love the things that you hate.</p>
<p><strong>Life is too short, to be sick.</strong></p>
<p>One of the most important things you can do in life, whether it be spiritually, physically, or mentally, is to be healthy and radiant.  You are of no good to anyone, yourself included, if you feel like crap all the time.</p>
<p>What are some easy tips to vibrant, radiant, health?</p>
<p>Eat a natural vegetarian diet.  Meaning, if you can&#8217;t pronounce what the ingredient is, then it&#8217;s not natural.  Eat as close to nature as you can.  Oh, and killing creatures and eating their flesh, isn&#8217;t natural.  There is no humane way to kill something.  It&#8217;s all a lie, and we&#8217;ve been swallowing it for far too long.  No True God would want you to kill anything.  (Sermon over <img src='http://johnkowalsky.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   )</p>
<p>You are what you eat, and having eaten death for so long, human&#8217;s are more dis-eased than ever before, in every way.</p>
<p>In addition to being what you eat, exercise is a great way to bring more vibrancy to your life.</p>
<p>Both health and peace can be obtained through gardening.  You get your exercise, the best food ever, and spiritual communion with the Creator&#8217;s creation.  Chew on that one!</p>
<p><strong>Life is too short, not to have a purpose and a mission.</strong></p>
<p>Most of the problems people have stem from poor health or lack of purpose in life.  Most people couldn&#8217;t even tell you what they want in life, let alone tell you what their reason for being is.</p>
<p>This one, you get no hints from other people on, it&#8217;s something you have to discover on your own. I will say this though, begin with getting healthy and feeling great, then as your mind clears from radiant health, contemplate your mission in life.  Your true purpose will always be in Service.  But to whom, and to what, and to where, and to how?  These things you will find out as you seek them.</p>
<p><strong>Life is too short, not to have fun.</strong></p>
<p>Work (or your mission in life) is important, but just as important is Play.  If you&#8217;re not enjoying the gift of Life you&#8217;ve been given, then you are wasting it.  Indeed, the gift of Life is the only gift that we did nothing to deserve.  Everything else is cause and effect or Karma, to a certain extent, but life, Existence, that was a gift we did not earn.  Just that fact makes me so grateful and full of love and joy, that I just want to Bliss out.</p>
<p>Are you having fun in your life?  Are you enjoying the gift of existence that has been given to you?</p>
<p>In light of the fact that we are immortal souls, and reading back over what I&#8217;ve written, this article would be better titled: <strong>Life Is Too Precious </strong>And indeed, it is too precious to waste on unwise choices.  So seek out Wisdom as well.  She is the most beautiful!<strong>Similar Posts:</strong>
