empowerment, Mastering Life's Possibilities

This Moment

All I can say is, stop wasting time.

Every moment is precious and has a purpose. It is true that not every moment is happy, but no matter what, one moment flows to the next.

Life’s ups and downs are not meant to hinder us. They actually allow us to grow in directions we never knew existed. I never thought, for instance, that I would move away from Florida after living there since 1981, but change happens. In 1987, I never thought that a year later I would begin my martial art journey. I never realized that I would have four children after suffering two miscarriages along the way. I never knew I would be a blogger or a poet. No, I never knew.

You cannot determine your future. That is why it is so important to understand that each moment is precious. And, even when heartache is involved, there is tremendous growth in the spirit and the soul that  brings us to brighter days and exciting, beautiful opportunities.

The great news is that it is never too late to embrace this moment or to at least understand its relevance in the big picture. While we can never re-live any particular moment in the past, we can always look forward and live life to its fullest, without regrets.

You are the moment. Your breath, thoughts, and being make this moment special and unique to you. No one else experiences it the same way. Your future depends on this very moment in time. Right now, as you read this, you are improving and learning to believe in yourself. This learning will carry you forward to the next moment. Embrace now, good or bad, and either way, allow it to inspire you.

Whatever today brings, and in whatever direction you are headed, allow this very moment to propel you forward. Stay positive and flow with the twists and turns. Your life will grow in new and unexpected ways.

It all begins in this moment.

xoxo
