My Book of Life
Who is writing the next chapter in your book of life? Let's assume for a minute that the first few chapters have been written by people other than yourself. Your family got to write a chapter, as did your place of employment, maybe a friend or two, could even be someone that has the key to the closet where the bones are hidden. Regardless who wrote what the next chapter belongs to you.
Not that it has to be published or a ghost writer hired to make it all neat and grammatically correct. What has to happen is that you take all of your life experiences and combine it into the race for the chase so you can make the best of the rest. Every thing you have done good or bad, happy or sad, right or wrong, has led you to this exact moment in time. As you sit there reflecting back with a keen eye forward imagine what dreams you have allowed to be stolen from you. Today we draw the line in the sand as we begin to pen the chapter that counts the most.
What will I write, what can I do, where will it take me? One thing is for sure it will not take you anywhere if you do not get started. All the pain of yesterday has prepared you for the promise of today. Life will always be life, it will be filled with disappointment, death, pain, confusion, frustration, etc. It is what it is BUT it is also up to you to face the obstacles stare them down and build you up. Life does not wait for any of us, the sands of time continue to fall in the hourglass.
It is my sincere hope that you find yourself worthy of the grace and glory that your life has waiting. All it takes is accepting where you are and what you have. Make the decision that today starts a chapter in the book. Not any ordinary chapter, not one that dwells on yesterday, but one that brings a ray of hope and light to today.
Start writing, do not hesitate or procrastinate because that is the work of the devil. Get up and get going your life is waiting for you.
peace to you
