The sun sets on another day…
Sunset faded to oblivion as the sky was shattered by snow and cloud. The angry snow sky was beautiful and awesome.
I was thinking tonight about what I would tell my younger and older selves if I could. The ideas ran rampant for just a moment.
At the top of the past list was to drive my passions. It is fairly easy to say something like live passion or look for passion but I should have driven my passion for my entire life. By driving I mean putting all of my effort into my passions. I have of course done quite a bit but in theory if I would have started earlier I would have found a lot of exciting times.
For my future self I would tell me to never back down. It is probable I will not but just in case I want to make sure that 175% of what I do is pushing myself harder. I expect I will push myself smarter too but I want to push myself harder so I never gain the complacency I see in some people.
If you could talk to your past or future self, would you? If you did, what would you say? Just remember that this is a very hypothetical conversation and for us, we must live in the now.
So as the sun sets on another day take a moment and live your life to its fullest. Each day can be an amazing step in the right direction and if you listen to an old fart like me, maybe you can take a step without needing to talk to your past or your future. Maybe we all just need to listen to each other a little more, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and enjoy every moment…
