Living is So Big - Universal Life Appreciation

Living Is So Big... YOU ARE UNIQUE

Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to pretend; in order to seem more like someone else. You weren't meant to be like someone else. You do not have to lie; to conceal the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.

You were meant to be different. Nowhere ever; in all of history will the same things be going on in anyone's mind; soul; and spirit; as are going on in yours; right now. If you did not exist; there would be a hole in creation; a gap in history; something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift; given only to you. Enjoy it; and share it.

No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can.

No one can speak your words.

No one can convey your meanings.

No one can comfort with your kind of comfort.

YOU ARE UNIQUE

Garry A. Ryan-Vision.

Letter... Really Appreciate

Dear Living Is So Big,

I really appreciate the fact that you guys came to speak to us. I just have to say that, In my opinion, your family deserves a lot of respect. It takes time and kindness to be doing what you guys do. I really like the way you guys expressed yourself. Your speech was one of the best speeches I have ever heard.

Thanks for the wristband, it's really cute and hot pink. <3 <3 Well, thanks to you guys, today was a good and excellent day for me. It was good and excellent because as you guys said, "If you want to be Happy, you will be happy. If you want to have a Good day, you going to have a good day." ...

LIVING IS SO BIG... It Gets Better

Why do people choose to be miserable most of the time. Yes, we live in a world that has misery. But, guess what? There is satisfaction in this world as well. I guess that no matter what we all go through, we must believe that it does get better. Nothing lasts forever, not even misery.

I have come to the conclusion that we choose our reality. Wake up people and begin to choose a better reality. Why? Because... IT GETS BETTER!!! Get it?

LIVING IS SO BIG... One Million Acts of Kindess

One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their life. Can you imagine a greater goal for one’s life? It is a constant mind-set of kindness every day of your life for the next fifty-five years. Doing for others and kindness in your heart for everyone. It is my wish that you will dedicate your life to a charity… finding the passion in your heart for something or someone in need.

As a father of three college age kids I am concerned for the world in which all kids will live. A great way to create a safer, more caring world is for everyone to start their lifetime goal of One Million Acts Of Kindness. So I bought a bus, had about sixty family members, friends and neighbors help paint it and began a ten year journey with my Boston Terrier, Bogart, to college campuses across the country hoping to convince as many of you as possible about this much needed movement for this world. I love you guys too much to sit back and not do anything about this. Let’s start a kindness movement in this country today to change the direction this world is headed!! You are the change that this world needs.

Letter... Car Wash

Dear Living Is So Big,

Hi! You don't know me, but you stopped a visited a fundraiser at a carwash a few months back and gave everyone hugs. My spouse was there and brought me home one of your bracelets. He said he met the coolest family and showed me a picture you took with them.

Little did anyone know that I was contemplating suicide. For me it was like a sign. What are the chances that your spouse walks in with a bracelet that is meant to remind you to live your lifeand don't give up?

Years of going to the therapist, this bracelet and your cause has touched me and changed my mind about life. The doctors never once told me living is so big. I didn't need a band aid, I needed a human being to tell me all the wonderful reasons to live. ...

Letter... Broken Rock

Dear Living Is So Big,

Every since your presentation, I can honestly say that I now see life in a different way. I can relate to Christopher's story because there was a point in my life where I was depressed and felt as if I was alive for no reason. I tried to end my life on multiple occasions.

When you guys called us up to get our LISB wristbands and our rocks, there was something "unique" about my rock. It was broken, and when my teacher and Iliana saw that I grabbed that rock they were surprised.

Mrs. Agudo gave me a hug because she said, that rock in particular will go to someone special. When I sat back down at my desk, I felt like crying because in all reality that rock in a way is a symbol of everything I have been through in life. ...

Living Is So Big... New Day!

When I wake up in the morning and the sun is out, shining light into my room, I feel it's warmth and I'm reminded that I made it through another day. This day is just the beginning, even brighter ones await us ahead! This is what inspired me to draw the New Day picture of the Sun. :)

LISB story that inspired me.

Living Is So Big...Music

There's nothing like a good jam session to get my spirits lifted. I sing and I know nothing and no one can stand in my way. I dance and bob around happily because I am truly doing something that makes me happy. That is why I love Music. That is why Living Is So Big.

LISB story that inspired me.

Living Is So Big...Birds

There is something so soothing to me about a birds song in the early hours of the morning. Granted, I'm not a morning person, but I hear the Blue Jays chirp and whistle and I remember why Mornings are so wonderful!

LISB story that inspired me.

LIVING IS SO BIG... Adventure

Living is so big because I Live for the next adventure. I would miss it if I didn't.
