I seemed to spend my time dodging from work to family and to friends, as well as endeavoring to keep my health intact. If I missed a day’s work, I knew that I could make up that lost time. But, family and friends are made of glass and if I dropped one of them, our relationship would be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, marked or even shattered. It could never be the same again. Health? I knew I had to live at a slower pace, but could I? I am not sure.
So, what I’d been doing was striving for balance in my life. But, how could I achieve that? I tried not to compare myself to others because I thought it was the very difference in each of us that made us special.
I learned not to set my goals by what other people deemed important. After all, I was the only person who knew what was best for me.
I learned not to take anything for granted, especially appertaining to near and dear ones. I handled them with kid gloves as my life would be meaningless without them all.
I had learned how destructive it was to live in the past or in the future. By living life one day at a time, I hoped to enjoy all the days of my life.
Knowledge is weightless, a treasure that I could carry easily, so I was no longer afraid to learn.
While I still had something to give, I wasn’t about to give up. Nothing was really over until the moment I stopped trying.
For a very long time, I shut love out of my life, not wanting to expose myself to hurt again. Now, I no longer do so. Once again I have learned a lot along the way. The quickest way to receive love, it to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold onto it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
I very often admit how less than perfect I am and maybe it is this fragile thread that binds people together.
I’m trying not to run too fast to forget not only where I’ve been, but where I’m going.
I am no longer afraid to take risks. By taking chances, I’ve learnt how to be brave.
I’ll always be aware of the fact that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
I now endeavor to use time and words more carefully as neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, rather, a journey to be savored each step of the way. But, I still have a lot to learn. ne day at a time, I hope to enjoy all the days of my life.
