Are You Ready?

My friends, today I am feeling very awake to the temporary nature of this earthly experience. Yesterday, someone close to our family was killed while riding his motorcycle home from work. A careless driver, did not see him and in a moment, the life of this 38 year-old father of six was over.

I felt stunned when I received the news. My mind turned to our many interactions over the years. I thought of the good times and the bad times, the happy times and the sad times. These memories flooded my mind as I attempted to make sense of this senseless accident. It was very difficult for me to believe that this news was true. I did not want to accept it.

This Is Our Moment

My friend is gone. His time in this world is over, but you and I are still here. We cannot guarantee that we will be here beyond this moment, so we must make every moment matter.

He did not know when he left work that it would be his last moment. I am not sure if he called to tell his wife and children that he was on his way home and that he loved them. I am not sure if he lived his last day in alignment with the things that mattered most to him, or if he spent it doing the dumb things that he thought he had to do. I am sure, that like the rest of us, he thought he had a lot of time to do these things. He was wrong.

This is our moment. We cannot waste it with thoughts that another time will come. We must act now. We must learn to be the person that we dream of being. We cannot wait for someday, because it may never come.

The Meaning of Life

Life is about loving and living in the moment. We create our own individual experiences. The choices we make, shape our reality. They birth our meaningful moments. We must be anxiously engaged in becoming our very best. We can do that by standing a little taller each and every day. We must not be afraid of becoming better. We must not waste our moments engaged in non-productive activities. Even our moments of rest, can be purposefully focused on building our legacy.

Are you giving the least, to those who matter most?

Who do you love? How do they know?

What can you do to create more purpose in your life?

How can you honor the real you?

This is our moment. No matter how long we live on this planet, it will only be a moment when compared to the span of its life giving existence. Your moments will only matter to those you love. Don't ignore them, cheat them, abuse them, or deny them. Don't get caught in the thick of thin things. 

Live Today! Love Today!
