We speed through life. Why? To make it to the next “thing”? The next promotion? The next school dance? The next date? Why can’t we live in the moment?
We spend our life thinking of the future. How our actions today will affect our life in the future. What will happen if I choose this? When will he realize he shouldn’t have walked away? When will I finally make it ‘big’?
Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we constantly badger ourselves, telling ourselves that THIS moment isn’t important, and that THIS moment isn’t the right moment.
Why not? Why isn’t THIS moment the right moment? Readers (the one or two of you that might have happened upon reading this), I challenge you. I challenge to two things:
1. I challenge you to take a chance. Don’t think about what will happen if you do it. Don’t think about what people will think of you when you do it. Wear something crazy. Ask someone out. Tell your loved one just how much you love them, how much they mean to you. Make them feel special. Make THIS moment the right moment for them.
2. I also challenge you to stop. Just stop. Take a breath. Look around you. Look at all the people rushing through their lives. Then I challenge you to take a moment, stop thinking about the future. And live. Don’t work. Don’t study. Don’t worry. Live your life.
Have a nice life!
