What do get when you look at your world upside down? Does it truly change your perspective or does the blood just rush to your head?
What would you give to choose just one day, any day to have to live over again? You don't get to change it - but you get to feel all of it again. Which one would you pick? And if you could only pick one, would you pick now - or would you wait? Would you wait because chances are there might be a day so glorious in the tomorrows to come that you would want to re-live that day - only you haven't experienced it yet?
How many impossible questions can you ask yourself about what you would do if only you could, before you realize you are answering them every minute by the choices you make in every day?
What does it take for the people we are to become the people we want to be? When I look inside of me - who is it that I see? Can you answer that question and be happy with what you hear?
Day to day, moment to moment - it really is all we have. If we keep living for the next day to bring us closer to who, where or what we want to be - we will always be waiting. And while this may keep us breathless with anticipation, it is unlikely to ever be truly fulfilling.
Challenge to action for the day: Be that person now, live it now - and yes, I know there are wants and dreams you have not reached - or maybe cannot reach - but own what you have with relish -
Think - Jonathan Livingston Seagull - BE -
(I still like the music from that movie - thank you Neil Diamond)
