Isn't it interesting how in life we long for that next step? I am most certainly front and center guilty as can be of that statement. Sometimes a spiritual growth can be similar to a physical growth. Are you one of those parents who forget to enjoy your children while raising them? Are you wishing they were older or in another state? Maybe you wish your child was out of diapers, walking instead of crawling, leaving for college? Whatever it may be, stop!
What about your career? Are you wishing you had that promotion or new position already?
The examples could go on and on and on. We need to stop and take in our life where we are currently right now. Where I do wish I was owning my own home, gardening on my own property, I am not there yet. Like many others I am losing sight of what is in front of me. With being so focuses on the future, am I putting myself in a position of not fully enjoying where I am right now?
No, life is not great for me right now. However, I am blessed and have many things to give thanks for in my life.
Do yourself a favor, step back and enjoy where you are right now. Find five things to be thankful for in life today. As I have mentioned I am just as guilty of this as anyone else. Yet, I think I will regret not fully investing myself into today, tomorrow and this week. Considering it is already April, and I swear yesterday was March, time is not slowing down. That next stage in our lives will come soon enough, even if it may not seem like it.
