Appreciate Time

When a person is well-liked, admired,
enjoyed by many people, and favored,
others sometimes viewing from the
outside attribute this person’s success
and prosperity to chance.

They say this success accidentally
happened without being planned
rather than through the person’s own
actions.

What sometimes those outside viewers
do not see is that over time this person
failed, cried, sacrificed, got no sleep, was
disappointed.

They also do not see that this person came
back, moved on, persevered, stayed up, got
up early, and showed up right every day in
the rain.

You see success cannot come without hard
work and resilience.

Showing up over time WORKS.

OK, so this may not be one of our times.

We may not be feeling fortunate.  We did
not get that favorable outcome.  We did not
accomplish our aim.  Our contest did not
result in triumph.

So, what do we do?

There is always apathy, indifference,
and dispassion.  It just sucks when things
happen and the circumstances do not
appear to be fair.  After all, we bet on a
reservoir of fairness and goodness.

But ….

Every day is not promised.  We have no
assurance that there is an indefinite
continued progress of existence and
events.

It is our responsibility to recognize
the full worth, the implications,
the significance of our time on earth.

No one is guaranteed TOMORROW.

So we must jealously guard our thoughts,
our actions, our time, and the beauty of
NOW.

Worry, negativity, apathy, indifference,
inaction, disappointment, and self-pity
are too expensive.

Value TODAY.  Enjoy this VERY moment,
the NOW.

You are reading.

STOP.

BREATHE.

Know that we will ultimately be successful,
because we are going to get back up.  We
will put in the work.  We are going to wake
early.

We can take care of NOW.

We can appreciate our time.
