Lighten Your Backpack!

Take
from the past that which belongs to tomorrow, and carry only that today!
It is not the burdens of today
that cause me to be unhappy. It is the regrets of yesterday and the fear of
tomorrow that robs me of today…that takes my living away. When will I stop
allowing my body to sit still while my mind moves between yesterday and tomorrow?
When will my mind, body and soul all be alive and living all at the same
moment? TODAY!
Laugh more, watch more sunsets, walk in more forests, swim in more
rivers, hug more and love more, feel more, become more than you ever thought
possible. Start having fun. No one said that to be holy we would have to be sad,
poor or miserable. Jesus preached love and joy and peace. He never preached
misery, unhappiness or stress. Joy is about having fun. Joy is about living,
real living. Do yourself a favor and
start having some real fun. Do
something today for the sheer joy of doing it, not to accomplish anything, not
to have an underlying motivation, not to get something in return, but something
that is a gift for my soul. Do
something just for the fun of it. Give
yourself a soul gift and rather spend today doing nothing constructive, but
having a wonderful, joyful time, than waste your day with living in yesterday
or tomorrow.
All the emotional baggage that we carry today influences our
future. Take a little while to dig
around in the past and find the good lessons that you learned. Lessons are only
learned if something positive and good came out of it. A lesson was not learned
if what we brought with us is mistrust, bitterness and fear. Only those good
lessons belong to tomorrow and only that must be carried today. This way, our
tomorrow is influenced positively by what we carry. And what we carry with us today
is creating our tomorrow. Make sure
that we only carry good things. Leave
the bad things behind in the past, where they belong.
Today we live!
