Time (expenditure or investment?)
I literally spent a large portion of my life racing through events and situation — and believing that in order to live the life I desired I had to continue to said mode of management. Although I have no regrets, as I know that everything about today was carved out via the sculpting of yesterday — I have learned a few things …
- Live in the Now. Enjoy this moment.
- Forgive. (Forgiveness is not validating another person’s actions, it is releasing yourself from the pain.)
- Let go of expectations (for yourself and for others). Life will go on.
Each day presents micro-opportunities to think again — to reboot. 
These opportunities arrive wrapped in moments when it seems “easier” to avoid the next step in the journey (such as living in this moment, forgiving — self and others, and letting go of expectations). Those moments when less complicated options are advertised (ad nauseum) and entice our frosting-driving appetites.
What will you do with your opportunity to think again? As you read this post are there less complicated options locking up your “hard drive” even as you desire to press through the immediate and take that proverbial next step in your journey?
We simply must learn the lesson of these moments or we will not be able to bring our hearts along in our life’s journey. For if these moments pass, never to be recovered again, then the life we prize is always fading from view, and our hearts with it. ~John Eldredge
