The sun sets on another day…
Somewhere in the depths of it all the sky opened and there was light. Somewhere on the horizon there was a sunset, and that sunset was beautiful. Somewhere in the depths of it all I was lost in the moment and watched the sun slip behind the trees in the hills and colors shifted across the sky.
There was a book, a movie, another movie, and a lot of discussion about the Razor’s Edge. I read the book first which was very interesting and a little long but not bad. When I saw the movie with Bill Murray I wasn’t sure what to expect. People had been bashing it and that was mostly because it wasn’t really that funny. Bill Murray had a few funny lines, but the movie itself was very serious.
Who cares right?
Well the movie is about finding yourself. Unfortunately I think a lot of people should watch the movie or read the book and try to determine who they are, and where they’re going. In the movie the character experiences tragedy and starts looking for purpose in life. Don’t we all? Don’t you ever question each day your purpose in life? Don’t you look to the sky sometimes and have that immortal question, “who am I”and in doing so do you ever come up with an answer?
When I started writing 29,000 sunsets I was trying to decide similar. When I relaunched the site in 2015 I was attempting to determine how I could leave a message to my children or help other people find a way to positivity.
You see, not many people realize that everyday really is a gift. You may be that person who is 100% in shape and has perfect health, but you may not realize that tomorrow isn’t promised at all. So I ask you today, what do you want to do with your life? Who are you? What would make today the best day of your life? Let’s do it.
I’m sure there are lots of people that sit out there and come up with great retirement ideas and fantastic thoughts about what they want to do to have the best day of their life. I am sure there are those people who would just want to stay in bed for another hour, quit their job, do something weird, or make things different.
I’m not necessarily saying that you have to go over the top, holy poo poo, crazy to be happy. I am saying you have to shift your mind into a happy mood and maybe start doing some of the things that you’ve always wanted to do. I think you’ll find if you pay attention, it may not be a huge change. Sometimes we just need to take things a bit further. Sometimes we need a wake up call to stop unenjoying life, and start enjoying life.
I’m sure this all sounds dumb because you are leading your best life right now in the Cayman Islands basking in the sun. I wish I was there too.
I think I’ll stop here and just say, why aren’t you doing it now? Why aren’t you making your day better now? Why isn’t every day special for you?
Once you understand why, maybe it’s time to do something about it.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope your day is fantastic. I hope you find a path to your happiness. I’ll keep working on mine too. Let’s have the best day that we can everyday, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and find your way…
