Encouragement: Let's End October with Fall Colors!

Fall marks the end of the summer sunshine, but not the end of beauty. In fact, fall has some of the most beautiful colors of any season. That's how it is in our lives, the fall of our lives can be the most colorful and full. It's up to us. We must decide whether we will just be a dead leaf falling from the tree of life or if we will instead be a colorful leaf floating gently down to earth.

"The airplane stays up because it doesn't have the time to fall."
- Orville Wright -

Keep yourself so busy that you don't have time to fall into depression or inactivity. You will be healthier both mentally and physically.

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling,
but in rising every time we fall."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson -

We will make mistakes, but if we pull ourselves up and go again, we will eventually succeed. At least when we make mistakes and fall, we are doing something. Doing something and failing is better than dong nothing and being successful at it.

“Life is like riding a bicycle: you don't fall off unless you stop pedaling.”
- Claude Pepper -

Keep pedaling! As long as we don't give up and quit we are still living. Sometimes the road is uphill but it is also downhill at times, too. If you can pedal the uphill, you'll said through the downhill. The key is don't stop...keep moving, keep doing, keep pedaling.

"Remembering that
I'll be dead soon
is the most important tool
I've ever encountered, 
to help me make the big choices in life. 
Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure,
 these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
- Steve Jobs -

None of us will escape this world alive, except with God, of course. Remembering these valuable words of Steve Jobs will help you to keep living, not just existing. If we can live a life void of all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, we will truly live the life we were meant to live. It's never too late, don't wait until you receive a death sentence to start to live.

"We all fall off the wagon. 
It's only one day; it's not the rest of your life. 
Pick yourself up and go again."
- Nikki Sixx -

Get out and enjoy the October of your life! The fall of your life! The beautiful season that you are in. Go for long walks and enjoy the beautiful colors.

Do you love the fall colors? Do you live where you have a full blown fall with all the changing leaves and cooler weather? What do you have planned for the fall of your life? Are you living it to the fullest?
