Today is the Best Day
The way we spend our days is, of course, the way we spend our lives. - Annie Dillard
I have a sense of certainty about being exactly where God wants me. Just as solid is the fact that I wonder at times what on earth I am doing here. I have two choices, I can look back like Lot's wife or I can look forward to God's perfect plan. I can choose today to live each day looking forward. I can take steps toward my goals and my passions.
Don't wait "until" to do the things we are passionate about. Live with purpose. Life doesn't have to just happen to us, we can happen to life. Today is the best day to live our dreams.
I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. - Henry David Thoreau

This is good! I do live with more purpose than I did, saaaay, 8 months ago. But, I've figured out that thing about life. The hard part is when someone else's decision that you don't agree with has a negative affect and outcome on your life and you have to deal with the extra (sometimes extraordinary) challenge their decision caused. When I dwell on "Look where I am because he did or said or decided....", I can get mighty grumpy. So, I just focus on what is true and real and beautiful and everlasting. And that, of course, is Jesus's love. Then, I can find my purpose, a goal and work on it.
great post
What a wonderful inspiring post! Reminds me of the saying, "Bloom where you are planted!"
