Hi All,
I just found a short article I wrote awhile back and wanted to share it. Whether you live with chronic pain of the body or of the mind, I think it is a great reminder to live it up now! All the best, and wishing you a pain free day ( :
Life’s Short – Live Now
Yes, your heart is beating, you’re walking the paces, but
are you truly ALIVE or just caught in the rat race? Yes, we live in one of the
best and most cultural places in the world, but many of us don’t leave time in
our schedules to enjoy our beautiful surroundings. Instead of being really
ALIVE we commute, get caught up in our on demand lifestyles, including cell
phone, fax, and email, become slaves to our businesses and careers, and have
little time left for what is most precious. Time to relax and enjoy the people
that mean the most to us.
Life is Short. We have to LIVE now! We get so caught up that
we forget our lives can change in the blink of an eye. Everything is perfect,
you have your health, a beautiful home, family and in the next second your
world is turned upside down.
I learned that all too well in my late 20’s when I broke my
back in a serious automobile accident. In a split second my body went from that
of a healthy young women to that of an invalid. I suddenly had to be bathed,
turned in bed and helped in the restroom. There was no longer room for modesty
in this modest girls life. I have suffered with back and abdominal pain since,
but believe I was given a special gift. A gift of wisdom many seek through
their entire lives to understand.
All too often we hear stories of people on their death bed
making amends with family members, wishing they would have spent more time with
loved ones and less time at the office, and wondering if they had only taken
better care of their health, sadly it is too late. Yet, we continue our fast
paced, overworked bay area lifestyles, after all we have plenty of time, right?
As a Life Coach I have had the pleasure to work with many
people that would say no. People that have battled cancer, lost children and
other loved ones; all do what they can each day to live a happy life on their
terms. Through my personal experience and coaching others I would agree. Get
started towards your goals today, for we don’t know what tomorrow holds. Make
time for what is most important to you right now.
Life is valuable and short and can be taken away from us at
any second. The time to be happy is right now, the time to tell your friends
and family you care is right now, the time to take care of yourself is right
now, I genuinely hope you can learn through my experience to start improving on
your life today. Remember, your life can change in the blink of an eye.
