Before Harmony
I worried about where I would be buried after I died.
Now, I want my ashes blown into the ocean... I am here now!
Before Harmony
I was anxious when I would run late because of unexpected traffic.
Now, I know I will arrive when I arrive.
Before Harmony
I would believe that my state of mind was an on-going state that lingered.
Now, I know that in every moment, I get a choice and make a decision about what state I am in.
Before Harmony
I worried that I would never “make it”.
Now I know there is no such thing as “making it” but only “living it”.
Before Harmony
I wasted tremendous time wishing my life was different.
Now, I am grateful for all that I am, and I take actions on how I want my life to be better.
Before Harmony
I longed for all the moments I wasn’t living... because I wasn’t “there” (physically, mentally, financially, etc...)
Now, I am grateful for the amazing moments I get to experience and I try to be more present in them...
Before Harmony
I missed much of my life regretting decisions I made or didnt make, or anxiety about the future to come.
Now, I realize that I only exist in the moment...
Before Harmony
Those around me often wondered what I thought.
Now they know...
Before Harmony
I wanted to know all of the right answers.
Now, I am at peace simply asking the right questions over and over...
Before Harmony
I tried to tackle my life, my problems, my goals all at once. It was overwhelming...
Now, I only tackle today... and break down my life and dreams into deliberate actions over moments...
Before Harmony
I struggled...
Now, I continue to struggle, but with greater appreciation for my amazing life... with much greater acceptance of the things that are out of my control... and with greater deliberateness over the things That aren’t!
Before Harmony fades into the distance of time...
And with every rising sun,
with every new moment...
I keep finding more light...
I fear virtually nothing.
I work and MAKE THE CHOICE IN MY MOMENTS more and more deliberately...
I more often embrace the IS,
I better define my WANT,
and I live my dreams in more and more moments...
in Harmony,
Nestor
