Today...

There’s nothing wrong with looking forward to the future and anticipating the new and exciting phases of your life. Your sweet 16. Prom. Going to college. Turning 21. Graduating from college. Meeting the one. Marrying the one. Starting a family. But at some point you finally realize, that everything happens to you at exactly when it is supposed to happen. Although sometime that is tough medicine to swallow and you might doubt yourself or your future, appreciate that you aren’t on someone else’s clock. You only are on the one that beats to your heart. You may not understand it. You may not see the plan. But it is in place for your good and will work out beyond your expectations in a way you could not have imagined. In the meantime, enjoy now. Enjoy that you can fly across the country to visit a friend at a moments notice. Enjoy that you can blow $300 on a purse you really like, when you really want it and not feel guilty. Enjoy that you are in the place you are supposed to be in learning what you are supposed to learn because it will all fall into place. And when it does, you do not want to look on your past and wonder what you missed by worrying about your future. Don’t let today pass you by.
