Don’t live your life by default…
Harmony doesn’t happen by default… for the vast majority of us. (And, I would argue for any of us).
Always think “happiness and success” when you read “harmony” as they enable each other.
We make decisions every day...
Whether we make them consciously, deliberately or by default…
Now, THAT is another matter.
Every day is a collection of new moments with new opportunities and new possibilities.
How often do you see every day as a new package of opportunities?
LIFE BY DEFAULT is a SLOW DEATH!
LIFE BY DEFAULT is DISHARMONY!
I am not saying change everything everyday, nor am I saying change often.
I am saying DECIDE DAILY. Be DELIBERATE about your decisions daily.
How often do we keep doing what we are doing just because that is the way we have always done it? I can’t stand that.
Be mindful of the new day, of the new moment, of the new possibility and ACT on it. That is the greatest gift we are given… the gift of time… the gift of new moments.
Imagine a lifetime of unopened beautifully wrapped boxes… How SAD L How WASTEFUL! How UNNECESSARY. How UNGRATEFUL!
Or on the other hand, what an amazing opportunity… what a blessing… what a tremendous realization…
Everyday we are given a gift…
Living deliberately is opening it…
Make DECISIONS every day.
D E L I B E R A T E L Y
to be all that we are,
to pursue what we care about,
simply to care,
to improve ourselves and those we love,
to learn something,
to explore,
to enjoy,
to laugh
to feel strong
to reconsider
to forgive
to expand
to challenge
to risk
to stretch
to BE…
Even if it means staying right where you are…
Loving who you already love…
Doing what you already do…
Being who you already are…
DON’T STAY THE COURSE by DEFAULT…
CHOOSE TO STAY THE COURSE…
IF you are truly choosing – you will choose to explore as well…
OR worst case – you will be grateful for staying the course…
You will be grateful for the new box, and it won’t go unopened…
Living your life by default…
Letting the status quo define your days…
Staying with friends or companies or situations
That don’t inspire you…
That’s leaving the gifts unopened…
How many unopened boxes are under your tree, or in your basement, or in your heart or in your mind….?
At work?
At home?
At play?
UNWRAP your DAYS…
Be deliberate because we are on a journey - and where we go and how much we enjoy the ride will be decided by YOU or by CHANCE...
DELIBERATELY DECIDE TO LIVE! From the smallest of details to the grandest of decisions… MAKE THEM ALL, OWN THEM ALL, LIVE THEM ALL…
LEAVE NO BOX UNOPENED!
Yours in harmony,
Nestor
