How many times have people referred to their life in the future?
Everything they do right now is for some OTHER time that has not yet come. It's amazing at how much life we lose when we are living in another time that has not yet arrived. As if they sun can't touch everything that expands across the horizon on it's descent into the underworld every evening and as if it can't touch all those things all over again when it rises, how can we NOT effect our very own circumstances, surroundings, relationships RIGHT NOW!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge advocate for paving the way for my future by making smart choices for now in order to better facilitate an easier life for me and my family in the future but so much life is wasted away, worrying about tomorrow when I have witnessed how that day may NEVER come. I love the people who have a five year plan, ten year, and so on and strive every day to get one step closer THEN.....LIFE HAPPENS: the stock market crashes, the industry fails, people die, our investments run out, your wife or husband leaves you, your child runs away.....LIFE AS WE KNOW IT....STOPS!!!
In moments like those I have seen amazing growth sprout forth like seedlings of hope in the spring awaiting their first drop of water to bring them another step closer to the light. At the same time I have seen people struggle with that pain, that break in their chain, and emotional struggle detains them to isolation. How could that happen? What am I going to do? How am I going to recover from this? I have a PLAN to FULFILL!!
Today I just wanted us to remember that life happens while we strive for tomorrow and it's the everyday life that presents more opportunities in growth and progress where tomorrow will present itself and ALWAYS with much more than we anticipated. Live for the moment, Love for all time, and Give every day the attention it deserves....you just might never wake up!!!
