Enjoy the time that you have. A pretty bold opening statement for this week, but one that has been playing on my mind during the week. Enjoy the time you have in all pursuits of life, or change them. You must love what you do, or it will drain your life away, slowly but steadily away.
At the same time we should take anything for granted, simply because whatever it is, it may be taken away at any time. Either through our own doing or beyond our control. It can be our health, our friends, our jobs - anything. I’ve seen it happen on all counts where it changes. When it changes for the better it’s the progress we have been plotting for ourselves, and it’s the fruits of our rewards. If it changes against our wishes, then it’s the journey coming to the end in that particular chapter. This can bring sadness or anguish at the time, but with the circle of life and all that spirals within, it’s just another stage we go through.
The thing is, no matter what it is, we should never give up fighting. The ability to fight for ourselves and for others one of our greatest attributes. When we know something or someone is worth fighting for, then we know that deep down we never give up. Regardless of an outcome, we never give up on what matters to us. We may have setbacks, but we don’t give up.
Nothing in life that is worth fighting for is worth giving up on. Not even life itself. Just in the very context of the phrase “worth fighting for” it reminds us to stand tall and give it our all. Not every battle will be won, but you will always be remembered for the fight you put up.
Sometimes I wonder what will be left, when I draw my last breath?its a question that you can ponder and plan for, but if you think too much you detract from loving and the wonderment of the journey. It’s time like these that we really need to spend less time thinking and more time living.
But no matter where you are on the journey, always remember:
You did not come this far, to only come this far.
