Live For Today

     It can become quite difficult to always come up with new ideas for fresh articles. I have a tendency to use past experiences to base editorials on. But there's one thing I have learned over the years, others do not learn from our mistakes. Everyone must live through their own screw ups. It's how we learn and grow and become.

     I came across this quote from The Crones Gathering,

Dunlop Lake, Elliot Lake,
 Ontario, Canada

"A new book with 365 blank pages is awaiting you.

Each page is for you to write your story.

There is no need to repeat what has already past.

Start writing anew with each morning."

     

     I suddenly realized that most of my articles were written from my past. And it doesn't stop there! I was writing about my past so I could find a way to improve my future. I forgot the most important rule, "Live for Today." If you stop and think about it for just a second, that tiny small window of time called "Today" is the only thing we have control over and even that can be finicky.

Precious Moments in Time

A Precious Moment in Time

"There are only two days in the year     

that nothing can be done.

One is called yesterday 

and one is called tomorrow.

So today is the right day to

love, believe, do and mostly live."

Dalai Lama

     

     Many of us spend our whole lives thinking of time as a commodity broken down into bits of time. We have so many minutes to get this done or so many hours to accomplish that project. We cry about our past and we worry about our future. When do we actually get to live? Our lives are actually precious moments in time. We get to use them any way we choose. So why do so many of us waste this most valuable gift.
