one day.

It
really is unbelievable how fast time goes by. I only have one day left here at G42.

The reality of it won’t fully hit until I board my plane home. It always seems
to work like that.

It’s
like prom or high school graduation, like driving with my car loaded down out
of my college town for the last time and the final airplane rides and goodbyes
of the world race…. It’s the moments that inevitably come, but always seem
surreal until they actually happen.  This
is one of them.  

It’s
pretty straightforward. Seasons come and seasons go. For a new one to begin,
one has to end. Life happens and that’s just how it goes.  I’m not sure if this mindset is me trying to
avoid the emotions of goodbye or if it’s simply the reality of life…I think it’s
reality, well maybe both, either way bottom line is: goodbyes are never fun,
but new beginnings are guaranteed to bring new adventures.

Today
in class we talked about “THE ONE DAY
MIND SET” It’s the repeated line we often hear that begins with…”well ONE DAY dot dot dot I’ll do this or I’ll
do that…One day, when I own a house….One day when I get married…One day when I
have kids…One day I’ll help this person…One day I’ll go here or there…One day
when I retire…” and so on. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about…

Those
moments often come and go and the dot dot
dot never happens. The big dreams get put on hold and ‘the one day’ gets
pushed back to another. Soon enough time catches up, life passes by, and
nothing ever gets done. If we are always waiting for the perfect time to do
something, will anything ever get done?

Perhaps
the one day spiel is just an excuse or a justification to not do what we are
called to do NOW.
If we’re living for the ‘One Day’ we will miss the windows of opportunity that
today holds…

One
of the things I strive for in life is to live FULLY in the moments of NOW,
rather than waiting until later.  That’s
my challenge for you. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing: the TIME is NOW.
