The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was amazing, and I felt the depth of it all rise across me, even as the cold closed in, I enjoyed the moments.
I’m sitting here thinking about all of the things that we go through. I look at social media and I see people truly devastated, and they think that the slices of their life are beyond important and that the moments that they have shared were devastating to the world. They’re probably right. As a species our lifespan is fairly short and as a species our very existence is relatively small.
No matter what your beliefs and how you believe the fossil records can be read our time on earth is virtually nothing compared to the time of the dinosaurs. No, I’m not saying this to depress you, I just want you to consider to the fraction of the fraction of time we spend on this planet maybe shouldn’t be lost in the types of depression that we often face. That’s saying a lot and I know it. The things that are in front of us often look insurmountable. Each day can be a struggle for some, and others give up only to go the way of the dinosaurs.
Yuck, how depressing.
Maybe if we just take a minute and realize that there is a lot of possibilities in the world, we would be a little better off. Maybe if we just take a second and realize that today could very well be the very best day of our life, we might get a kick out of everything going on around us. Now I’m not saying that the things we face aren’t important, but maybe at the end of the day we have the power to overcome just about anything we want to. Maybe at the end of the day we will go longer than the dinosaurs simply because we are willing to grow.
Take a moment and take stock of your life. Don’t look at the past and all of the things that have weighed upon you but instead look at the here and now and how you can learn, how you can grow, how you can become a better person. It’s not too late to be the most spectacular person you can be and in doing so it’s not too late for you to find a cool way past those things that weigh on you. How? Just by realizing that you’re more important than anything you have faced. Why? Because you are the sum of all of the things you have faced.
Take just a moment and think about that. The worst possible thing that happened today versus all the things you have overcome to get here. You may not remember them all, but they remember you. Take a moment and realize how strong you are and how powerful you can be.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope you can take a moment and realize how special you are and, in the process, overcome those things that are weighing you down. If nothing’s weighing you down, that’s super and I’m glad that you are who you are. Be amazing every day just because, and if you get a chance squawk around like a Pteranodon, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and caw caw…
