It's time to wake up!!!

TIME

There comes a time in your life when you say enough is enough.

Enough crying and looking back over the things that didn't turn out the way wanted and so you begin to push forward in the direction you want to go. You acknowledge that it no longer makes sense trying to pick up fragments of what is lost; so you start building with what you have in creation of what you want it to be.

The things that once made sense no longer do and what you prized no longer envelops you, but forces you to anchor yourself to that which will remain standing when what you had no longer is.

You reflect on the things you gave permission to gnaw away at you and decide that you will no longer run away from, but towards your tormentor, knowing that you are equipped and that nothing can defeat you unless you allow it to. You realise that you become what you feed and what you ignore will engulf you, so you focus on the Truth.

You realise that life is short and that the hours that passed you yesterday will not pass your way again; that time is not subjected to man and that the breath you breathed moments before is not promised to you tomorrow and so you live each day as if it were your last.


You realise that life is not about getting all that you can, but about what you've done with it; that it is less about what you do, so you concentrate more on becoming who you are. You acknowledge that Death will one day call for you and what really matters will triumph in the face of that which seemed important but was not.

The stranger you always ignored becomes your brother and so you stop instead of passing him by, knowing that you are accountable and what you do for others will one day return to you.

The journey of Life holds our destination, the choice of which only we can make.

Which direction will you choose?
