I
can’t recall where I heard this quote, I was moved by what it was being
said. In our lives we are filled will
many moments. Some are wonderful and
then there are those we would sure like to forget. I am reminded of the song George Strait “The
Breath You Take”. This was very touching.
“You
just might miss the point
If ya don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away”
If ya don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away”
These
lyrics are very true. It is the moments
that take your breath away. We spend too
much time rush, rush, and go, go. Our
time here is only for so long. The sum
of our lives is comprised of the moments we have. When I was in Nova Scotia, I was witness to a
way of life there that was very different from what I had come to know in
Calgary.
Moments Shared
It was
like another time and place. It was like
time had stopped. The pace of people
there was the opposite of what we have in Calgary. During my stay there was filled with many moments. What are your moments? Life is meant to be enjoyed and what I saw
while on my trip to Nova Scotia. They were living life.
Talk
about moments. Last night I was with an
amazing group of people. We get together
on the first Friday of the month. The person from the last dinner who wins the
game of the evening gets to choose the next place to dine at.
Dinner with friends
Our
moments are personal and sometimes not so much.
But in the end, they are our own.
Moments are a part of how we grow or shrink. Like a plant, it grows from what it is
exposed to. As are we exposed to moments
that come into our lives. They shape us
as I had spoken about in "Choice" It Has the Power To Shape Our Reality."
Moments in our lives are captured in photographs and
shared memories. Opportunities are present when a moment arises. Bruce Lee said, ”You have to create your own
luck. You have to be aware of the opportunities
around you and take advantage of them.”
Wedding
Opportunities are moments and together create our
realities to some extent. Life gives us
to participate in other people and their moments. I have found from writing this and other
postings. Several moments that are
filled with learning, growing and becoming a better person.
Creating moments
In our
lives, moments are like chess pieces to some degree. Each move you make with your moments, changes
the end result. However, because it is
your life, you are constantly moving.
Each move you make reacts and creates ripples into your future. The moments we have are what makes the lives
we have unfold.
