None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an afterthought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like a hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else.

Has your determination and diligence, focus and persistence outdistanced your inner child’s need for fun?

Are you mortgaging the enjoyment component of your life for some abstract day in the future when everything is going to be OK?

Or are you making time every day to stay vibrantly engaged with life, for all of its spirit, joys, and treasures?

When you are viewing your life through the filter of making every single day count, are you awakening to the prospects of the possibilities currently at your disposal that can potentially improve your life and simultaneously deliver you innate happiness that is yours for the taking?

In many cases, we might be maintaining a vigorous regimen of duties that we feel obligated to perform in order to achieve some abstract goal of complete happiness and bliss at a future date.

But in many cases, that future moment does not arrive in the package that has been projected internally, and as a direct result, one might be left with certain degree of regret for having squandered all of the time leading up to that moment on responsible activity with no allowance for sheer joy and delight.

As we are fully aware of our opportunity to let great years go by without the rewards, we might be that much more willing to alot ample time on a regular basis for engagements that bring us great appreciation and satisfaction.

In this prioritization, we would be wise to recognize that many circumstances come to play when we are calculating our respective options.

These circumstances delineate our ability to fully partake in whatever perceived futuristic reward that awaits us.

If we are expending our healthiest, youngest years on total responsibility, we might be very disappointed to discover how and why we are foregoing prime opportunities to live a life fully lived.

It is very important to create our priorities, and to specifically focus on goals which take us to the strata in which we hope to operate and live…but it is equally wise to recognize that we need to embrace life and cherish all of the wonderful little moments that make our world feel ever more fulfilling and desirable.

Happy Saturday!
