“Appreciation is an excellent thing.
It makes what is excellent in others belong to us, as well.”
Voltaire
There’s work to do. And things to accomplish. And places to get to. And people to please.
There’s futures to create. And pasts to forget. And an endless string of days full of hours to be filled. We often spend then running, fantasizing or waiting, hoping it eventually turns into something good enough. Something worth valuing, something worth appreciating, something worth enjoying.
If we’re not deliberate, we can easily live life hopping from distraction to distraction, biding our time for something better. The truth is there is nothing better. This is life, in all it’s beauty and possibility–in the present moment. Life never happens in any other time.
Today, choose to marvel, bask, and celebrate the beautiful things and people around you. There will always be something in your life you’d rather avoid or escape. The place you’re trying to get to, though, lives and breathes right here, right now.
