I did hey she walked in a business suit and a pair of fairy wings and introduced herself as a fairy godmother, turns out she is a ex all out career type who had a bit of a break down and then gave up the rat race to make other peoples dreams come true. Then there was the woman who was partially paralyzed in an accident as a young woman, fought her way back to health, learnt to speak write and walk all from scratch and ended up working with disabled people, showing them they can do anything they put their minds too, now she’s retired and works with the less fortunate. Then there was this woman who had a massive brain tumor, most people had given up on her recuperating, but she did and went on to paint some of the most beautiful paintings I have ever seen and write a very successful book. Then there was the man who had advanced stage cancer, he was given weeks to live, but he wasn’t ready to give up his wife and family –  that was a year ago.

I met all these people through my job as a reporter, there are tons more, but I just can’t remember them all right now. All these people who have beaten the odds, gone just that one step further than expected and gave back in amazing ways.

I hope I can be like one of those people, one day. Not just living life and no longer basing what I have on my bank balance or what the Jones’s have,  but really living! using what I have and what talents I have been given to make a difference, no matter how small 🙂

That’s my almost end of the year resolution, LIVE THE LIFE YOU HAVE NOW, IT COULD BE TAKEN AWAY AT ANY SECOND AND IMAGINE HOW SAD YOU’D BE IF YOU REALISE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A ONE DAY THAT MIGHT NEVER COME
