Life-Get Addicted, "Become a Lifeaholic"

This is the title to my seminar. I will be speaking in Alpharetta, GA at Roam Atlanta 6:30pm on July 22nd

If there is any addiction to have we should be addicted to LIFE. I realize using the word addiction goes against the beliefs of the times, but just hear me out. In order to survive, and evolve we learned habits that kept us fed, watered, housed and safe. We learned to use our knowledge and experience to create habits that helped us grow stronger and kept our children safe when we had to leave. Without having habits we would have had to relearn survival skills over and over again. That sounds exhausting to me, what about you?

Ok, so habits can and do turn into addictions at times particularly when we are unhappy and choose to avoid are problems instead of face them. This is of course the reason we think of the word addiction in a negative light. I know I can be long wind again bear with me, here is my point. Being addicted to life means you have habits but they don't run you, you run them. It means you have a habit of facing your problems not running from them. You work to have healthy habits and to learn how to be happy from the inside. We have all met people addict to life and their enthusiasm is catching. When we are addicted to life people want to be around us and we know how to live in the moment. Does this sound like the kind of addiction you could live with?
