Jump

A couple months ago I went to see Russell Kane do stand up. I had seen him once before 3 years ago so was pretty excited to see him in action again. 
Amidst the jokes and the funny anecdotes there where certain things that really had an impact on me, which I didn't relies till now. 

What I remember him saying is that we need to take hold of the positive aspect in life and just, well, jump. It may sound weird and if I'm honest me watching him explain what he ment by leaping around the stage was slightly confusing but now I understand what he means. 
There are so many things in life to worry about, for example work, money or relationships that we don't allows ourselves the chance to appreciate the positives, whether they be big or small as we just move on to the next thing that's on our mind. 
By taking a little jump or taking it as a metaphor and just doing it in our head helps us grab those moments. 

I'm guilty myself of not relishing the positives and being bogged down in the negative aspects of life at present even though in retrospect I have nothing to worry about. I think people find it hard to 'jump' as for many people self appreciation is looked upon as a bad thing and if people are happy with what they doing it could be perceived as big headed. 
This needs to change. Be happy with your achievements or if something's gone right that day whether you got an A in your essay or your favorite song was played on the radio.
Anything that makes you happy should be relished and held on for as long as possible 

I hope you have a great, jump filled day
