I want to ask you an important question this morning:
How fast can your life change?
I am not speaking about going from unfit to fit by visiting the gym for 6 months.
I am speaking about an internal shift, that alters the way that you engage with your world.
Blink your eye.
Do you know how long it took to blink your eye?
All of 300 milliseconds. This is how fast your life can change.
You may have woken up this morning and thought, “Damn, still here!” But the day is just getting started. If it takes 0.3 seconds to change your life – imagine what can happen in 86 400 seconds? (1 day).
There are moments in your life that will define you and path you choose to walk. That moment will either make you (great) or break you (down).
Receiving “bad” news presents you with an opportunity to do the impossible or to merely conquer your greatest challenges and fears. Sometimes the news that death is sooner than you thought presents an opportunity to finally live for the first time. I know of a TRUE story of a man who was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was told by the doctor he had 6 months to live. The man went out and LIVED. Only to be called back by the doctor 7 months later to say that he was misdiagnosed. The man sued the doctor for making him happy for the last 7 months. This really is a true story. Can you see how we hold onto our misery, that we are even prepared to sue someone when they create a space for happiness?
Here are some moments that are life changing:
Being told:
“Honey I am pregnant!” or finding out that you are!
“You have stage 4 cancer.”
“He did not make it.”
“You’re fired!”
“It’s over! I hate you!”
“All the money in the safe is gone.”
There are some perceived “good” moments also:
Winning the lottery.
“It’s a boy!”
“Congrats, you got the job!”
“Will you marry me?”
“You are healed.”
Your life can change in moment. In the blink of a eye, everything you love can be gone. In the blink of an eye, nothing can turn in everything you have every dreamed of. Each moment is a miracle waiting to happen.
Seize the moment. Seize the day.
No matter what and why you think of me, nothing can stop me from loving you.
I will continue loving you, unconditionally and there is nothing in the world you can do to stop me.
I love you.
Love,
H
