So as I write this, I want you to know that life pushes me to many places that force me to grow. This growing process is from learning and writng about my situations so maybe that helps you with understanding the title of this blog.
Human life is sacred an precious and although we inherently know that, sometimes it takes serious curcumstances in our life where life could be taken away to realize it deeper. It could be us understanding our mortality or that of a friend or loved one.
One minute everything is fine and the next moment they are gone or on the verge of losing their life. Sometimes we are given a few years longer to live from a diagnosis, but we know the end is near.
So knowing that how does it really affect us in our daily life? Do we just get caught up in the game of life and accept death as part of it? Does it or should affect how we live every moment of our life?
For me I have come to the following understanding of life. Every second we have is a blessing from God and for us to use in the best way possible for his glory. God has given us all the breath of life and a set time here on earth that could be taken away anytime.
Those who cross our paths come for a reason, a season or a lifetime. The nature of each of our connections in life is a time to share truth, learn and to help each other reach our God give potential. I find the more truth I learn and the more experiences I have the more I have to share with others.
I have come to a place in life where I want deeper more meaningful connections with people who belong in my life. I found the ones who belong stay and make an effort to be part of my life and those who just want something from me seem to drift away.
In a deeper meanigful relationship people grow closer together as friends or as more. I see all my relationships in terms of how much time i invest in them and they invest in me and how much growth we share together from experiences and deep communication. I do not have time to invest into things that don't bring personal growth for me and the people i love.
I am trying to make more decisions that bring depth of connection with the people who are literally part of me and my life. I need to slow life down and enjoy the beauty of life and the nature and time of the relationships with the people in my life that bring me the greatest joy and value. I don't want a day to go by without sharing a kind word of how much I love them or doing things that show them how much I care.
I do not want to leave this world with any regrets. For me my greatest joy has come from doing things for others who could not do them for themselves. The joy of that supercedes anything I have done for myself. So as i write such a deep blog I challenge you all to reflect on your life and if you knew your time was coming to an end or that of a loved one sooner than you expected would you change anything? Would you have nay regrets? Life is too short to be angry, negative or hang around people who don't value you or your time. Make the most of your life and time here by living in the moment and realizing life is short and be the positive energy to those around you who you love and who love you.
