Today Is
ByOne of the learning’s in life that I would like to share with you today is a lesson that is probably as old as the peaks of Mt. Everest and for many just as hard ascend. It is a lesson of living in the NOW and learning of what today is. You see, many of us look backward too much, while others look forward too much – thus missing the joy of living in the moment that today is, allowing it to pass us by. Two very special people in my life come to mind, one of which lives in a angry past and the other lives in this dark future he has forged. Both fall prey the disease of missing what today is, and as a result are unable (or unwilling) to get the joy that is all around them this very minute. Do you know somehow like this? Do you know someone like this intimately perhaps?
It would seem, these days that fear of LIFE is a quiet pandemic killing many without their knowledge. Those inflicted by this poisonous phantom loose their happiness to the fears of yesterday and/or woes of tomorrow. For example, those who are afraid of growing old – forget the intelligent design of Mother Nature. More often then not, as one part of a person’s bodily vigor wanes, it gives way to the ability of their mind and spirit to be grown exponentially. By living in the now, they can not only see that shift but are able to tap it quickly. So rather then fret over your past or woe over your yet unrealized future, suppose you consider what today is, what it can be, what it offers you in opportunity.
You should get a note card and write on it ‘TODAY IS the best day of the year!” Now, hang this card in a place you will see it everyday. You see today is the day you can set that new goal, begin to wean yourself off that bad habit, meet that special person, or just do a good deed for yourself or someone else. If you treat today as if it were the best day of the year – then today is going to back at you with a smile. Today only looks uncaring to the thoughtless and the malicious, so do not put yourself in their company. Realize that today is a day you can get something accomplished – not matter how small!
We should all wake up, run our entire day and go back to bed knowing that today is the same kind of day that occurred when the greatest events in history took place. Whether today is rainy, sunny, snowy, hot or cold – some great even took place in history on a day just like this one. Today is a single tile in the mosaic of your life. That tile can either enhance the beauty of or detract from the finished piece – but it is your choice. Will you choice an active colorful and attractive tile buy cheap Premature Ejaculation Cure online for the day or a dingy, dull, gray, uninteresting and unchallenged tile?
What if today’s tile was going to be your last tile? What tile would you choose then? I would imagine (and hope) it would be a colorful one. So, perhaps that should be the tile you choose for each and every one of your todays.
Do not fall prey to the pandemic of hating your past or fearing your tomorrows. But rather put you energy and your thoughts into what today is. For all of use there is a time to be born and a time to die – it is what we do with the todays between those two points that makes all the different.
