We can choose our friends but not being able to choose our family is like a poker hand. Some of us have a full house, some of us have crap and some don’t get any cards at all. The cards we are dealt, tho’, are not a measure of how good a poker player we are. It’s what we do with the cards that count. It’s the same with our family–it absolutely influences our life but it is not a measure of who we are and we do not have to let our family decide our fate.
The simplest way to enjoy your life is to be present in the moment. Do you know what that means, really? It means to realize what you’re doing. Right now, I want you to stop, take a deep breath and breathe out slowly. Look around–are you in your office, in your home office, waiting for an airplane or your child to get finished with soccer or to start your shift at work? First realize you are alive and that this moment, the one you’re in right now, is your life. Don’t rush to get through it–this moment counts–maybe not as much as other moments, but it counts. You won’t be able to do this all the time but when you do, you are enjoying your life–even if you are about to do something you don’t like–you are acknowledging your life. It won’t seem to slip by as fast because you can stop time just for a few seconds……and enjoy your life.
