Live it Up

Life is short. I feel like I am making myself old just by stating this as I remember hearing my parents and adults around me saying this, as I grew up. Still, I’d like to think of myself as wise instead of simply old. As a result of my job, I talk to lots of people every single day, and I’ve met plenty of people who are numerous in years, but not necessarily in with them. As such, I’ll take what I can get.

Again, as a result of my job, I spend a lot of time talking to folks about their goals in life. A lot of us know that we need to make it from day today. If we are lucky enough to live longer and grow old, then we know that we need to plan for that future.

This world can be a beautiful one, but it can also be a difficult one, and it’s highly unlikely that anyone is going to take care of our future for us. Still, I rarely meet people who truly know what they want to do with their time in the future. Yes, it is good to be present in the moment-we often times don’t do this enough-but it is also important to make plans. Nobody plans to simply exist, because if we did life might feel somewhat meaningless.

And yet, some days, we find it difficult to see past the day, or even in the week, especially if we’re dealing with some hard times.
where am I going with this? The lesson of today is to be present in the moment, but also not to let the future pass you by. Life is short so we need to live it up and plan for the hopes and dreams of tomorrow.

happy writing this week!
