Why are we here?
Why are we here? Because we have…
- lessons to learn,
- choices to make,
- skills to master,
- time to spend,
- joy to experience!
After all, it’s September…Back to School time for all of us! Whether we’re in kindergarten or just a bewildered adult, life is all about the learning. It’s not a waste of time. And since no one is responsible for grading us/judging us, we can
- take a deep breath,
- give thanks for being alive and
- just play/work/grow/live/love/give..!
So…what can we do with this opportunity? What gift do you want to give to the world? to the community? to your family? to yourself? What would you like to focus on this fall?
Picking one goal to focus on is smarter than feeling overwhelmed by trying to do a bunch right now. We all know how quickly we can get discouraged if we bite off too much. (think New Year’s resolutions!)
Maybe there’s an activity you’d like to participate in? Would joining a group get you started? (I’m enjoying a twice-weekly Tai Chi practice with friends!)
Maybe there’s a skill you’d like to start improving? Would a class get you started? A YouTube video? A friend to tutor you? (I’ve got my sister again mentoring me as I work on improving my knitting!)
Eating that “elephant” can be done only one bite at a time. And where you start (trunk? tail? leg?) is up to you!
Feel free to share what you might choose to start with!
