A lot of life is about the choices you make.

Some are more difficult to make than others. It’s always the most important ones that are the hardest.

The most fundamental one is how you view life. Everything flows from there.

Our society is entering a trying time. Buffeted by a steady stream of threatening, pressing issues, it is easier to think that the good times of the past 40-50 years are fast fading from view, or you can think of life as a wonderful, magical ride, albeit with with many bumps and unexpected sharp curves but well worth the ticket – and devote your time and energy to what you know really matters and holds meaning for you.

In his book, Seize The Day, Saul Bellow wrote, “If you think that historical forces are sending everybody straight to hell, you can either go resignedly with the procession or hold out, and hold out not from pride or other personal motives, but from admiration and love for human abilities and powers which, without exaggeration, the words ‘miracle’ and ‘sublimity’ can be applied.” Every day is precious.

Speaking for my myself, as far as I know, we only make the trip once; no one has reported back to the contrary.

So read his words again.

This time, say them slowly and out loud so you can hear your own voice speaking.

It’s your call. Life. Over to you…

A FEW THOUGHTFUL QUESTIONS:

Have you reached a stage in life when you find yourself asking “Is this all there is? Are you wondering if, perhaps, there is more you could be doing or closer to the point, who you are being?

Need encouragement and someone with whom you could do some strategic exploring and refresh your spirit to help you get to where you want to go to next? Something more fulfilling and engaging?
