Today is your yesterday and tomorrow|
As I sat quietly at a table yesterday, I caught a glimpse of a group of older, gray haired people smiling at a baby. It was a lovely sight but sobering altogether.
Sometimes I wonder why we live in a society that tells us that if we do not hurry up with our lives, that we may potentially miss out on great opportunities. There is nothing wrong, mind you, with being a driven, motivated individual chasing after ambitions. What I do have a problem with, is our insatiable need and commitment to hurrying. What my observation of these seniors brought was a sad thought. Why do we hurry our lives, rushing to grow in success when at our old age we find ourselves to be reminiscent people, longing for a taste of youth?
Today is your yesterday and tomorrow. Don't forget to give yourself moments for reflection, a chance to breathe and pleasure in the phase of your life you are in presently. I feel like sometimes my life is chaotic, full of unanswered questions, stress and unmet goals. But that is ok, because today is my yesterday and tomorrow.
What is the greatest thing about your chaotic life today?
