Living with bad things happening affects our mood. Good things happen, too, only we don’t feel them as much as we deal with the bad. It’s a mixed bag. Instinctively we know we have good things in our lives, but the bad gets the attention.
Each day we need to acknowledge that. Even highly successful people need to do this.
If you have everything you ever wished for, what is the ever present bad thing? Why, death of course; or worse, failing health and disability.
Time is a resource with a finite definition. It has a start
and an end for the individual. We are born and we die. In between is life. What we do with it is up to us individually.
Building a good life takes time, attention and effort. Lots of
effort. Much of the time we do not know the results of our investment in time
and effort. No, we have to play out the outcomes and see how they emerge. If good,
time will take some of this away. How prepared are we for that?
Good and bad intermingle. The old song goes – ‘and the days
dwindle down to a precious few…’
That’s September. As it ticks off through October, November
and December, we arrive at New Year’s. Where will we find ourselves then? Will we
value our time or will we lament the bad?
Balance. Find it. It values our time to live.
