In your efforts to be all and do all....

In your efforts to be all and do all you forget the most important thing that you came to remember – life is worth living!  Time is really all you have and love is the answer.   Does this surprise you?  It is not so much what you do in life as how you feel about what you do.  Does it bring you joy?  Do you spend your days wishing for something else?  Other places?  Other things?  Other experiences?  If you do, little ones, then you have missed the boat.  For it is in the joy of the day that you experience the most fulfillment.  Ponder this a while.  Does it matter that the laundry isn’t done?  That the dishes sit in the sink for a while longer?  That the lawn didn’t get mowed last weekend?  No, we think not.  What matters is how you felt.   Did you fret that the laundry wasn’t done?  The lawn wasn’t mowed?  Then you did yourself an injustice.  For it is in the feeling that life lives.  Not in the doing.  Find a feeling of peace in whatever you are doing or not doing.  This is where you will find the most joy in your lives.
