Time-outs are a kid’s best friend. I’m not sure we’d get any toddler or young child to agree with that reality but time-outs are essential.
“Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.” ~James Dean
Life is short…time passes quickly. We’ve all heard the statements and on some subconscious level we know the realities; yet, life creeps in and sometimes this truth can fade in to the background. We can’t be fooled by the calendar; there are only so many days. The truth is life is but a vapor and we are a flower quickly fading…here today gone tomorrow. Time-outs help us remember what matters…remember that we can make a difference…we can live a life of purpose….a life of passion…a life of making a difference. Thoreau said, “as if you could kill time without injuring eternity.”
Life is precious…we were created for a purpose….we were created to love, laugh, and learn…to live life abandoned to a dream…to leave a legacy. We were created for such a time as this…for now, for this generation.
Time-outs can give us the space to refocus, to adjust directions, to relax and reengage, to ask if we want to keep going the way we are…to assess what matters a lifetime from now…if you could be anything in this world what would it be? What would you stay up ‘til 3 a.m. talking about…dreaming about? Time-outs matter and time-outs can be our best friend. Every one dies, but not everyone really lives.
Embracing the journey…
