Awhile back I went to see the Adam Sandler movie,
"CLICK". And I have to say, it's one of the best
movies I've seen in a very long time. It's sort of
a take off on "It's a Wonderful Life"-- for the next
generation.
It just so happens "CLICK" has now been released
on DVD--so if you missed it, you can grab a copy
and watch it at home.
It delivers a powerful message... one that we all
need to take to heart.
You know, today's world is so fast paced. It's so
easy to get caught up in chasing the rainbow...
living for that "someday" when things will finally
be right.
When...
>> We'll finally have enough money to enjoy life.
>> We'll finally be out of debt and out from under
the pressure cooker of life.
>> We'll finally have a career we love or a business
that brings in loads of profits.
>> We'll finally have the time to spend with our
family and share those relaxing moments together.
>> We'll finally reach the level of success and
status we crave.
>> We'll finally have things under control enough
to be able to kick back and enjoy a little down time.
So when does that day come?
It seems like most people are living life in limbo,
going through the motions, just waiting for that
"someday" to finally arrive when you can step off
the merry-go-round... exhale... and actually start
to enjoy life.
Well, my friend, I've got news for you...
TODAY is the only "someday" you're ever going to
have.
Right now, this moment... TODAY is your only point
of power. It's all there is. Yesterday is over...
tomorrow doesn't exist.
So why do we continue to live like we're in a
big dress rehearsal... or practice game?
Why do we settle for half-lives... where we act
like all we're doing is trying to "get through it"?
This is it. This is YOUR LIFE.
************************************************
So let me ask you a question...
If THIS is as GOOD as it gets...
is it GOOD enough?
************************************************
Look around at your life right now. Is this
what you want? Are you happy? Are you sucking
the juice out of life... or do you crave something
more... something much more?
And I'm not talking about "things" or "stuff"...
I'm talking about deep, fulfilling relationships
and spending quality time with the people you love
the most in this world.
I'm talking about following your bliss and
discovering the incredible joy of actually doing
the things in life that make your soul sing.
I'm talking about unleashing your greatness and
making the world a better place by the contribution
only you can make.
I'm talking about discovering who you really are
and living up to the unlimited potential that's the
core of your being.
Time flies... whether we're having fun or not.
Kids grow up, parents and grandparents grow old,
and passion dies away while we're waiting for
"someday" to arrive so we can start living.
Don't wait. It's time to STOP settling for what
you don't want and start living this very moment
as if it were your last... because you never know
when it will be.
Like Buddha says, "Be Here Now!"
That means, be present in your life and experience
it AS IT HAPPENS. Don't live in the past... wishing
things could have somehow been different and don't
live in the future... worrying things will never change.
Take the first step right now.
Grab your kids, your parents, your grandparents,
your dog...or anyone you love... and spend some
quality time together.
Hey, why not catch a movie? Really. Go rent "Click"
and be prepared for a major WAKE UP CALL.
The time is now... this is your moment...
MAKE IT COUNT!
To Living The Good Life,

P.S. Unfortunately, they say dogs can't see the
TV (although I don't believe them!) so watching
a movie with your dog might not be the best
choice. But DO spend some time with your furry
friend--that's all they want is to be with you. |
