Never let your memories be greater than your dreams. ~ Douglas Ivester

I can remember the most difficult time in my life was after the person with whom I thought I’d spend the rest of my life passing away.  Having never been married and having no children, I found this to be a difficult and soul crushing blow.  I fell into despair and a false belief of no future, no possibility, and no hope.  I found myself going through the motions of living.  Working, talking even smiling and laughing on cue.  All the while dying inside.

What I realized and decided was a life of misery and past reflection was no life at all.  I had limited my existence to one possible outcome.  After deciding I wanted my JOY back, I became whatever it takes.  Grief counseling, grief groups, bible studies, books, cd’s, podcast etc.  Having the life of abundance does not come easy, but it is so worth the work.

If you have found yourself living in your memories, believing the past was the best you will ever get…you are wrong.  Let go of what is gone and unchangeable, grab hold of what is to become.  This is your life and you only get one shot.  Do not rob yourself of the wonderful and beautiful destiny that awaits you. The ONLY thing that matters is what you do NOW.  Make it count…choose wisely!!

All you have is right here,right now…what will you do?
