Hello 2014!

The passage of time consumes everything that has happened in the past. The continuum of life wakes us up every morning, and we simply have to keep going until it is all over.

I am at a point in my life where the only things worth doing are those that really count and make sense to me and I alone. I have achieved a good level of financial stability that enables me to buy enough and travel to many places. Lately, however, when I sit in the living room or lay in my one bedroom condo purchased a year ago, I begin to challenge all that I've seen and done with the simple question, "So what?"

So what if you've been there and done that? So what if you've met them, and seen that?

I'm realizing that yesterday is gone, and so is everything that transpired before I woke up this very morning. Life is truly an ongoing process into an infinity we know nothing about and have no control over. The ball started rolling at birth and continues on to death and who knows where else.

So if this is true, how should we then live?

I say we start by accepting the fact that NOW is the only time that matters, and therefore we should keep an open mind and heart and not be so hard on ourselves. Relax and stop beating yourself up so you can meet deadlines, please other people's thoughts and opinions, or meet everyone else's expectation but yours. If today doesn't care about yesterday and tomorrow, then you should only do what's true and genuine to you right here and now. This is your only responsibility to yourself as it determines the quality of your physical, mental, and spiritual well being.

So whatever you do today, good or bad, mundane or adventurous, stationary or action packed, make sure it matters to you and you alone. Because when tomorrow comes, everything you've seen and done yesterday will become null, void, and irrelevant.

Whatever you eat today, will be flushed in the toilet later.
