The other day I happened to be listening to a radio station who was interviewing a newly divorced man who stated he sacrificed 25 years to his family and ex-wife and has nothing to show for himself. He called to get tips from the disc jockey on how he could re-invent his self. The caller stated it's been so long ago that he had an opportunity to sit back and reflect on solely him. The call was powerful and moved me. How the gentlemen couldn't remember what he liked let alone his favorite song or ice cream flavor because he lost sight of who he was.
There are/will be moments in our life that will leave us flabbergasted. We will look back on past times and either laugh, cry or/and both. Which ever emotion happens, remembers what does not/did not hurt you has/will make you stronger. Leave all the loving and longing behind. No need for crying over spoiled milk. We are all entitled to our good and bad days. Furthermore our highs and lows we are human therefore not perfect.
At times we allow ourselves to fall into patterns. Robots, who work, go home, care for family, etc. We only have one life let’s start living it. Try something new, order a new meal at lunch, listen to a different radio station, learn a new language, hey even give a stranger a handshake/high-five, or a hug. Don’t look back 5 years from today and wish you had the opportunity to try something new.
Let us never forget who we are, individualism is a must!
