The sun sets on another day…
It was a good sunset. Beautiful yet foreboding. Getting ready for far more. There is a time and place for everything. This sunset was beautiful for the time.
I was considering the nature of time and the idea of defining ourselves everyday. This idea is at the core of many things I talk about. Since we have so little time, making the most of it is a priority. I then think about what has happened in the past and what will happen without whining or pining about any of it and instead consider the bookmarks that define our lives. These are things that have happened or may happen but they’re always things that we should reference and refer to.
There are a lot of critical things that have happened in my life that as I consider I know that my life would be different if I had changed how I approached them. These key pivot points were everything from a decision on how to do something to the idea of a simple kiss.
As I said that I realized that there’s no such thing as a simple kiss. Even the most innocent of kiss could mean a lot more. Maybe that’s where some things happen, when we don’t realize that a simple kiss isn’t as simple as we thought it was. Of course a lot of the things that have changed my life have had nothing to do with the kiss. I still think that feeling deeply and knowing powerfully how life should be and should have been pretty much defines what’s going to happen day by day.
This started with the idea of a bookmark and it will end there as well. Remember that every day we have an opportunity to remember the positives of every day and build on them. If my yesterday was good I can use that to build a better tomorrow, and as each tomorrow comes my days will only improve. I hope that’s not too hard to believe because I think that the core of how we should approach life.
So whether by kiss or decision or a hundred other things, as the sun sets on another day, find a way to use your positives and build better days every day. Bookmark those things in your life that made you feel great about who you are. Mostly, find a way to enjoy the time you have and make it yours, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and be amazing…
