How to live a beautiful life? Well that is simple, my friends. Live in the “cans.” 

Life is so extremely beautiful, do not dwell on what you cannot do; focus only on what you can do.  I find that so many people complain all too often about what they cannot do, what they cannot eat, what they cannot afford, what they cannot look like, what their children cannot do and so on and so on and so on.  I have to tell you, live in the “cans,” my friends. Life will be so much more beautiful and stress free.  In fact, stop dead in your tracks when you are about to utter the words, “I cannot…” stop right there and think of something quickly that you can do and that you can do extremely well, I might add.

Most importantly, while you are living in the “cans”, do not even give a second thought to anyone else who might say anything negative.  Listen folks, I know something about this firsthand.  I am sure most of you would be quite shocked to know that there are people who actually know about my limited sight and yet choose to speak negatively.  Most of you would not believe it, but there are people who have insisted behind my back that I am somehow lying about my health challenge.  What do I do?  I do not give these people a second thought except to pray for them and wish them well in my prayers.  I must wonder however, what it says about one’s character when one chooses to speak ill of someone with a health issue.  If one fabricates stories about you ,what does it really say about them and not you? So that is my suggestion, just pray for them.

You see I pay no mind to the negative people.  I choose instead to live in the “cans."
