- Or life as a movie
One of the biggest realizations in my life in the past two years is that my life is fluid moving image and process. I am “being” as a human and moving through life – not toward a destination or final outcome.
The only outcome on the horizon is death. That’s the snapshot I have to look forward to. So I need to make the most of this life while I’m here. For some that’s living life in excess. For others it’s a mission or calling. But we all get about 70-100 years to act out our “movie of life.”
I “am-ing” all the time. It’s not a static image or frame. It’s more like a movie that is in process.
There is no group of people planning your life for you
I think John Lennon said it best…
“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”
Have you taken responsibility for the outcomes that you want? You have dreams. What plans have you made to realize them?
That trip to China you want to take – or that novel you want to write – or that business you want to start.
Write down your dreams right now as if they are the script for your “life movie.” Be clear on what it is that’s important to you and begin doing SOMETHING…
ANYTHING
… that will move you closer to your dreams.
One day the move will end and you’ll look back and regret that you didn’t see the day coming sooner. You kept deferring life… for what?
No go take action.
