Enjoy!!

I have begun to enjoy my life.

Now I have my long time desire, to see the beauty of today even as I long for tomorrows promise. But, as usual, I want to share with you. So here goes

A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR TODAY:

You want those grades so bad, you want to deliver and meet that deadline at work, you badly want to exercise today, you dearly want to be a better you. All well and good.  Run after what you desire, seek to be all you can be. Fight the good fight, and by all means win! But still………what happens today? Think about it.

It’s funny how we’re all constantly running to the future, so much so, that we forget to harness and explore the beauty of today. It’s a little here and a little there, not all in one place. Its balance! Stop chasing the future at the expense of this day. And don’t get too comfortable with today that the future clears from your view. Balance!

Honestly, think about it. What can you say you have really taken time out to enjoy today. What have you consciously decided to savor and explore. what is it about today that you won’t forget for time to come. What is that beauty today that has had you breaking forth in praise to the King, in awestruck wonder. What have you done with this day?

So some stuffs didn’t go the way you planned today, so what? So not everything is as you’ll have it be today, so what? So you still exhibit some unpalatable traits today that you’re working on and hoping to change, so what??? There’ll always be more  ahead. More to see, more to do, more to have, and more to be. But there’ll never be another today. I am just learning that myself. I am only days old into this new discovery and I tell you: MY DAYS OF LATE HAVE BEEN OF INCREDIBLE FUN AND FULFILLMENT!!!

Look up the sun, it smiles. I mean, it really does! Feel its warmth as you run around doing your business. Smile at the sweat it brings out of you and say to yourself: what a miracle! Smile at the passerby that’s all frowny and looking at you like you’ve lost it. So what if you’re  beaming with the light of the joy overflowing in your heart, on a day that’s so hot you could successfully fry your eggs on your palm. So what if you’re the only one humming cheerfully on a hectic day at work. So what!!!!

This day is what it is, like it or not. It is here, and the way I see it, you can either  enjoy it or endure it in hopes of a better tomorrow. Either ways, there will always be a tomorrow around the corner, so what’s the rush? Take your time. Enjoy what you’re doing.  Take the bold step into adventure’s promise. Explore your day. Really search everything you do. There’s always something to enjoy in it. In work, or school assignment, or chore. There’s always something to enjoy!!

Besides, tomorrow never stays tomorrow forever. Sooner or later, it would grow into another today. So if you are merely enduring today, waiting for a perfect tomorrow to bring the perfect situation for you to be glad, then you’ll be waiting just about, let me see, hmm………….FOREVER!!!

Today is where it all begins. Have fun! Enjoy!!!

  3. IN the words of a life coach I once attended his seminar, "to life an effective life, we must learn to live in the NOW" When someone asked for his definition of 'Now', he answered, "0-5secs". Concentrating and enjoying every moment of one's life is very important if one must live an effective life.

    You have shared well Nike and I concur. God bless you :)
