Thinking about my sister who just returned to the States from the UK. She had a two-stop flight to get home again. It made me realize how we live our daily lives and how it unfolds is like taking a flight somewhere. We know the destination we want to attain and we know that in so many hours we will be there ready or not. At the other end of the flight we have to be ready with plans of what is next? If you don’t plan, then it will just happen. Maybe you will find out you needed reservations to go to the next destination and you are stuck in someplace that you really don’t want to be. If you live your life this way it may be that you are in a place you really don’t want to be. You have to plan and decide where you want to be to make it happen.

Life is a book you write, not a movie you watch. Maxime Lagacé

In other words you must be present to live your life and intentionally make daily choices of how you want your life to be. I have been in the place where I just let other people make decisions for me. I was not truly present.

“One day at a time – this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.” – Ida Scott Taylor, Leaflets of Occupy Time (1905)

I love this quote because for so many people including myself there have been times where I am sitting in my stupidity and grief over crimes committed to myself and others but it is over. It is. Sit in it and then move on. That is exactly what I have done but it takes a mindset to do this.

Making peace with yourself is the most important thing. Give yourself a break. Make daily choices to do this. If you do this then you will likely not judge others.

Happy Wednesday!

Love you all…..
