Sunset was again amazing, but I had no way of seeing it except through the trees and the colors painted the skies. It was beautiful nonetheless and I enjoyed every moment that I was part of the experience.
There’s a song I used to listen to a long time ago about being back in stride. A stride is a normal step and a way that we move from one spot to another. Today as I thought about all the things that I was catching up and finally finished the 2 pictures that I needed to post with my two previous posts, I laughed about getting back in stride.
I don’t ever want to be someone who is predictable. I don’t even want to be predictably unpredictable or unpredictably predictable, I just want to enjoy life as it comes to me and have all the fun that I can. We can choose each day to define ourselves and be the best possible people that we can be. As we do, each day can become an amazing gift because we are not worried about the past or worried about the future, but instead, we are defining who we are.
It’s not always easy. There are lots of external factors that try to keep us in line. There are lots of external people who try to show us their way. I am here to tell you that your way is usually the right way. With that in mind, build your way and become the best person that you can be every day. As part of being that best person make certain that you understand how you fit in the world. You are special because you are you, don’t try to be special and be someone else, just be you. You are fantastic because you are you, don’t wear a mask when you can be yourself because being yourself is always enough.
In the end, as we slide into that great unknown those of us who will be remembered will likely be remembered for our effect on others and not for how good we are at our job or how great we are at each thing we do. Define yourself, define yourself, define yourself.
So as the sun sets on another day, do not whine about the past for it is gone and will never be here again. Do not pine about the future because tomorrow is the only day you will never see. Instead, define your present, define your moments, each and every day, and in doing so be the best you that you can be, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and be you…
