MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
TODAY
Last year I wrote on dreams – the ones in our heart and soul that give us something to “live for” and then the ones that we LIVED. It has been a long year and I have watched my dreams [sometimes] be almost the only threads holding me here, some given only to be cruelly snatched away, some change with time, and some stay unwavering, as others that had started to peek out returned to slumber.
Dreams can be so much, yes, but they can also take away as well, and we have to be careful what dreams we allow to dwell in our hearts and rest on our souls, for in the end those dreams are the ones that “become” us, as we merge everything we are into them. Dreams can destroy us or they can create us, forge a demon or angel.
Life itself is indeed a “dream”, but in a dream we can only act in the moment. Today that moment is now – it is called “today”. Yesterday is an opportunity gone and if not taken, might be lost forever, and tomorrow is an opportunity not yet come and might not come to pass, so you have to make the most of TODAY and the opportunity presented TODAY.
You can seek solace in memories or you can build castles on future aspirations. Better yet, you can give yourself into the action of creating and living a dream - YOUR dream, NOW, TODAY, in the present moment, allowing your soul to be open to the possibilities waiting, your heart [cautiously] open to those knocking, your mind open to something that might have been considered unentertainable in the past.
Time changes our souls, and when our souls change, so do our hearts and minds. A year is such a short period and this last one has gone by so fast that I still remember this day last year like it was yesterday, even as it has also been a lifetime that has aged my soul far more than the simple span of a year, to the point of where I wonder if I will recognize myself in another year.
But, whatever comes, whatever happens, who and what I have to face to fight for my right and worth in this world, I know that the decisions I make TODAY will play their part in determining tomorrow, and that tomorrow is uncertain, so while what might be might be, I will be grateful for the blessings I have TODAY, acknowledging and accepting the love and life, as I keep my faith and believe for my future.
