Thanks For The Memories
It’s throwback Thursday, and today I am grateful for many great memories.
I am even grateful for the way Apple and Facebook feed me memories of days past.
Some remind me of great times, and others of lessons.
But I am grateful for them all.
But, as grateful as I am for my memories of the past, I am most grateful for the memories I haven’t even made yet.
After all, life is meant to be lived not in the past, but in the present- to create the future.
So I was meditating upon some of the ways we determine what our future memories will be like, and I thought I’d share that with you.
1. The quality of our choices.
2. What we think, say and do.
3. Who we spend our time with, and the quality of those interactions.
4. What we consume- physically, mentally and spiritually.
5. How we invest the time and resources in our control, and how we react to the things outside of our control.
6. Our attitude.
7. The more I think about it, I guess they’re really all just sub-bullets of #1.
Don’t get me wrong, some are simple but not easy.
But, ultimately, each of these is a choice, within our control.
So, unlike the memories of our past, which may be happy or sad but that we can do little about…
our future memories are really for us to decide and design.
Let’s get to work on them!
Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
