Along my path, I expect to experience "bends" and obstacles. In fact, I spend much time preparing and protecting myself from these perils. However, I've become aware recently
that I spend hardly any time enjoying what each day has to offer me.
I preach to my children that they need to experience all that each day brings them. That they should shed the distress and woes of days gone by so that they may focus on the beauty that unfolds each morning.
But do I live this myself? No way. I don't come close to this ideal. Today I asked myself what holds me back from living in the moment. The answer came back quickly and unequivically- FEAR. Fear of failure, fear of going against the comfortable grain that I have sown for myself, fear of the unknown.
I place this quote here before all of us as a reminder that NOTHING IS WORTH MORE THAN TODAY.
Let's promise each other to say this everyday. If we say it, we can believe it and eventually we can live it. Fingers crossed!
