Ways to Live Your Best Life

We all have those moments in our lives where we question everything from our existence to our purpose in life. You have your dream job, relationship etc but there is still that little voice in your head wondering is this it? Well, here are five surefire ways to help you live your best life. 1.Stay positive When you let go of the idea that you cannot control everything that comes your way, you allow your mind and energy to focus on something positive. You begin to realize that positivity is a choice and you can train your mind to see the positive in every situation. Positivity is addictive too!

Final Tribute to Daddy

Hello. As I stand here, I see friends and relatives that have come great distances to be here for my Dad. I am humbled and quite frankly impressed at how he must have touched your lives.

The last time I stood to give a speech was probably one of father's proudest days, when I gave a speech that was meant to indicate the beginning of a new chapter in life. And now I'm here giving the only other speech I've given at the end of the biggest chapter of my life and I just hope that my father still feels that pride, because we're all so proud of him for the life he led and the man he was and will always be. I had trouble at first, trying to put these words together, it seems almost so unfair to try and sum up any man's life, let alone one that was the center of my family's world, in such a small amount of time. I felt the sudden weight of what it...
