Just For Today...

The harsh reality of our lives is that every moment we live is another moment we may have wasted. If we could really look at our lives in Macro approach we would realize that every moment in our lives is but a pixel in the larger picture that makes up our extraordinary lives. Therefore, we must take this perspective of knowing that each moment no matter how mundane or insignificant we may think it may be is a blessed moment we had the privilege to experience. Also, if we find ourselves in a moment of stress, anger, disappointment, or melancholy we must realize that these moments are merely insignificant and will pass when considering the larger picture of our lives. But, just like a picture, our entire lives will fly by like a snap shot.

Looking back on fond memories makes me realize that we often don’t recognize the significance of a chance meeting, living or even being somewhere, sharing even a simple moment whether alone or with some else are moments that will hold special significance in our hearts once they are appreciated retrospectively. I have been truly privileged to have met and shared countless superb and unforgettable times with some truly exceptional, unique, and beautiful individuals.
I take this moment, as I have taken others before, to feel truly blessed and humbled by the presence and occurrence of sharing moments I have enjoyed with many people throughout my hallowed life. I will sincerely and continually make an effort to let these people know how I feel about them with no agenda or expectations what so ever.

If we can look at our lives and realize the honour we have had to share the moments have and to possess the things that we currently have and have had in the past, then we will realize that we have and have had everything we need. Once we make this change of thought we will experience true gratitude and satisfaction at numerous levels of our lives. Everything we have always wanted we can have now by simply realizing (and maybe convincing ourselves) that we have it all. Most of us have been honestly blessed to have never gone without the things we need to not only survive but flourish and enjoy lavishly in our lives. If we would have gone without then we would have had the experience and hopefully the wisdom to see that we are now blessed beyond expectations. We do not need to go without, suffer, or sacrifice in order to attain the wisdom that allows us to come to the realization that we have it all now.

If we can start, even just for today, to love everyone you can sincerely and without fear then truly special moments will be born without expectations. Those who react negatively to your efforts will have to deal with their own demons.
Just for today love, understand, and experience unconditionally.

I dedicate these thoughts to all of you special and beautiful people that have shaped my life without even realizing you were doing so. I am eternally appreciative for your influence in making me who I am, and more importantly, thanks for being you!
