“First you have to live, learn, love and laugh before you can lament.” - John-ism
I met John at a recent event that was a gathering of leaders in his industry. He called these the 5 L’s of life. His philosophy is that BEFORE you can lament (grief, mourn or cry in sorrow) you first must LIVE, LEARN, LOVE and LAUGH.
The saddest thing, according to John, is that there are people LAMENTING life and they have not even tried to LIVE, LEARN LOVE or LAUGH.
So, as we start this Monday morning — are you Mister or Miss Woe is Me? Are you having a poor pitiful me Monday or are you looking for opportunities to LIVE, LEARN, LOVE and LAUGH?
Stay away from waiting for everything to be perfect before you start. To any degree, just START and live, learn, love and laugh.
I wish you a week with lots of opportunities to live, learn, love and laugh!

hello,
so i stumbled here because wordpress claimed our posts were related. i dont see how, since mine is all about heartbreak.
that being said, you make a good point. =)
cheers.
So glad you stumbled in!
There are so many people just waiting for all the planets to line up before they “start” living their life (or one more thing to get done, or one more child to graduate, or one more project to complete, or that one more big client to land - and then “life” just slips by).
My question is - what are you waiting for - this is LIFE not just PRACTICE - live it!
Thanks for stopping by!
