Your Best Days Could Be Ahead

I will have no personal events or people from my life in this post.  They are not really needed to make the point, anyway.  I, just like you, are experiencing life and learning as I go along.  The only reason I do this blog is to provide help or thoughts as I find my way    in hopes that it can help others whose events might not be the same but the advice can help us all.

I've lived a long life.  There has been ups and downs in various stages of it.  They haven't been the same stories or even involve the same people.  Some of my challenges were financial, some health, some relationships, and more.  Each time... in the moment.. I felt like THIS IS IT... THIS is the point of my life or the hardest challenge or the greatest joy or whatever.  I fell sway to the temptation to believe that what I was experiencing in that moment was the most important part of my entire existence.  Then... things changed.  New story lines emerged.  New realities appeared, and the story was different but felt just as important.

I don't want to minimize the story in any chapter of your or my life.  It was that it was in that time, and that story's joys and sorrows will remain.  But, we often forget that it was just one chapter in the story... in a book that is far from being complete.

So, this post won't be that long, but it makes a very good point that is important to remember.  Wherever you are in your story, there are many new chapters to come with new characters, different experiences, and you in fact will change, as well.  Whatever good moments you had in the past, it is important to remember (it definitely is for me) that your best days could be ahead.  So, explore yourself and feel your way through the journey you make, not knowing what that story will look like.  Bring your love of yourself into those days, and make it an adventure worthy of being in the book of your life.
