This was originally intended for a private journal entry, but this, my friends must be shared after a poignant life changer of a day:
If there’s one thing I learned from today, it’s that life is short. We’re here for but a moment and then just when we get comfortable, we move on. We have a limited time to make our mark on the world. Why then, do we play small? Who does that serve? What good does that do?
How come we don’t spend every waking moment loving our lives? Why do we instead “put up with it”? Why does it take losing a loved one or a hearing about a close friends’ loss, to make us wake up and think? We look at the impact that person made and we are shocked back into living, rather than existing, finally engaged again in this world.
We get so comfortable that we forget. Most of us are waiting for something to happen. We miss opportunities one after another to truly connect. Why? How come we are so surprised and shocked by life and equally by death? Why are we scared to love, scared to die, scared to dream, scared not to dream, scared to succeed, scared to fail.
What for?
You’ve got a purpose! A magnificent, beautiful vibrant, needed purpose. Will you choose to live it? Or will it take another trauma to shock you awake?
Will live out the music in you? Really? Will you?
I hope so.
