Quick Q: what were you doing 10 years ago? What was GREAT about that time?
Even if it was a difficult and dark time (it was for me as it happens) there were things, looking back, that WERE going great. Like my health was really good when I look back at that time. Maybe for you your money situation was epic. Or your relationship was brilliant. Or you were on fire at work. Or it was the sweetest chapter with your children. Or you’d just bought that great house.
Thing is, as we get caught up in the happy busyness of life, or just getting through a dark chapter, we can forget to appreciate what IS good, and what objectively IS going well. We can assume those things will be like that always. Not so, as you will know! Life can be twisty and turn-ey!
So, let’s take it as a Heads-Up today, that 10 years from now there is a version of us who will be looking back at us RIGHT NOW in this chapter we are in right now, and wishing we had BEEN HAPPIER about where we ARE RIGHT NOW.
Yes I am sure not all your ducks are in a row as you would like (mine either), but that doesn’t mean we cannot EXTRACT MORE JOY AND APPRECIATION FROM THE RIGHT NOW.
If your health is great – really connect and celebrate that fact.
If you have no money worries – how fantastic. Acknowledge and appreciate!
If your life is filled with love and romance – yahoo! Relish that feeling!
There is, for sure, a version of us – 10 years from now – who would be literally begging us to enjoy where we are, right here, right now, a lot more than we are.
So, today, your task my friend, is to enjoy this day, whatever it may be bringing you and regardless of how orderly your ducks are, EXACTLY AS IT IS.
Enjoy, right now, all we ever really have is right now
