The Challenge of Today

One thing I’ve learned: Life is not a movie. As long as you think it should be a movie, you will always be disappointed. Life is better than a movie. It’s more exciting. It’s more real.

As long as we see life as it “should” be (according to us or someone else), we can never appreciate it for what it is. How will you ever see the beauty before you if you can only see what is missing?

The Challenges:

  • To let go of what we want for others, who we want them to be, and let them show us their selves. Love them for who they are, today, not who we want them to be tomorrow.
  • To know the difference between what we can control and what we can’t.
  • To find a balance between living both actively and reflectively at once.
  • To be open to what is to come.
