Life is about enjoying life, its not about the final destination its all about the journey you take to get there. The journey itself is built upon by our Experiences which help to develop and formulate Memories. For better or worse they mould us all into the individuals that we become, defining our character so that we remain unique. As the saying goes, youth is lost on childhood however; with hindsight many an unwarranted experience could have been avoided. But this is exactly the reason why we have been born with a blank book; so that through trial and error we are able to fill in each blank page with our own words and pictures. History is the trail our footsteps have left behind, documenting our lives so far. Life is all about where we have been, where we are now, and what lies ahead - the past, present and the future. It may be that because we do not fully understand the past that we fail ourselves in the future. However, by understanding that the past is only worth what we make of it and that the future is not set in stone because the choices we make in the present are what determines the future, we automatically discover just how precious the here and now Today, really is. Today is where we currently reside and all events transpiring whilst in this transition are detrimental to the journey that is being made. What we do, say and think at this moment in time will have substantial effects upon the experiences absorbed. What is currently in motion is all that should be appreciated and all that should matter in life. Today is therefore the only true gift of life, which is why it is called the PRESENT. If we live our lives according to the present, we will never have to feel sad over the things that were never meant to be, or live in false hope over the things that probably might be. No matter what the real reason is behind our existence on this planet we call Earth, our purpose is clear to all that walk its path - To simply be thankful for what our life gives to us, the memories we make and the opportunity to learn along the way. And if that is all too hard to digest then to just put everything down to Experience! Karen Hall-Foster AstroStar Numerology Numerologist & Philosopher of Life & People June 2006 |
