Last night, while attending the final meeting of my Thursday night book club, I was struck by the concept of “reflections.”
Certainly having three icons pass away within hours of each other caused many people to stop the monotonous grind of daily life to ask the deeper questions of life. We realize that Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson will never again be able to experience life as we know it.
So, we stop.
We wonder.
We reflect.
And even as I was reflecting, one of my book club friends commented about the process of reflection in a mirror. “A mirror,” she said, ”only allows us to see what’s behind us — we can’t look forward.”
Wow.
What a powerful statement!
It made me think…How often do we miss out on what might be in front of us because we’re so focused on what’s behind us?
Sure. We all make mistakes. And as a college professor so eloquently stated, “Even God cannot change the past!”
But the past is just that. It’s behind us.
So, as you’re taking time to “reflect” in the days ahead, I challenge you to also spend time focused on the future.
- Imagine what possibilities might exist.
- Consider what it could be like to live life without regrets.
- To the fullest.
- Making every moment count…
4 u…believing 4 your future!
