My husband drives me up the wall sometimes because he is so easy going and care free, a quality which I really admire...coming from someone who stresses and gets overwhelmed easy...
I seemed to always be living in the future...what will I do with my life...well eventually I want to do this...that....maybe someday...blah blah...it can be to stressful...it seems like a lot of us live for what we will be like in the future...
However, my wise carefree husband said this to me and it really put things in perspective...
He said that he doesn't think about tomorrow because it is another day... just focus on today....if you go to bed knowing that you did all you can that day to be the best person, best athlete, best spouse, best student(things from our life)...then you should sleep well, because that's all you can ask for...he said if you do all you can to work well at the things you are doing then you should be happy at the end of each day...for that is your purpose....
Think about it..this makes sense...while you need to be prepared for the future....you can be living your life as you want it now, living it in the present.... the best person you can be now...not one day...because the term "one day" and "tomorrow" and "maybe", fester within you, and ruin your today...
Wow! I am in awe of Jordon's attitude! He is great, I need to soak that in and practice it myself! I am always thinking.....some day.....NO, now is the day..thanks, fitty-seven!
