Recent weeks for me have presented with the loss of loved ones, and although grief can hit many of us hard, it is often the gentle reminder that “later” is not guaranteed. Everything can change in a day, in an instant and our days become forgotten.
“A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live.” Lao Tzu
These words remind us that life is not meant to be lived “later” - that it is brave to live fully, being authentic, passionate, and courageous with each day that we have.
It is easy to simply let the days pass as we await some event or remain stuck in the past.
Instead, look for the moments - living with authenticity and passion. A laugh, a kiss, a glance, a taste, a dance - collect these moments every second, every minute, every hour, every day.
Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect, it is in these moments - we begin to heal.
