The Albatross
Where is your evolution taking you? You have heard the quotes such as "you are either green and growing or ripe and rotting", or "you are either evolving or evaporating". The thought for the day is what are you doing today to make yourself better.
If we live a life that is constantly changing and dynamic then it must be true that we either go forward, stand still, or get run over. I would have to say if you stand still to long you will get run over so the only viable option is to go forward. When we live our lives stuck in yesterday it can create a traffic jam that is difficult for others to navigate through. Your slow down has a huge impact on others that are trying to travel forward. Granted you will not hold them up for long because eventually a person moving forward in life will figure out how to get a way from a person standing still or stuck in yesterday.
Like the ole survival of the fittest, we must strengthen our minds on a daily basis or the pleasures of life will soon pass us by. Now I do believe we have to stop and smell the roses. We also have to take mental and physical breaks to recharge our batteries. In this same format it is crucial that we rest our spiritual brains at times to simply allow God back into our busy worlds.
So the question becomes this, is your life worth digging in and fighting hard to evolve into a better you. No need to evaporate or get run over because inside each of us are the tools we need to make every day count. To move ahead in life does not mean running over others because anyone can do that. The greatest albatross around our necks is our lack of forgiveness towards ourselves an others. Grudge, hate, revenge, and jealousy are four of the worst human actions that take down way to many people. Life is about freeing yourself of harsh emotions so you can lighten the load and go on. That is why in scripture Jesus spent so much time teaching people the simply acts of kindness, love, and forgiveness.
Today is a new day and it deserves to be great. Make a choice right now to free yourself of life's burdens so you can be the person that you need to be. The great thing about this reflection is it is up to us to start. The only thing holding you back is you.
peace to you
