Flowers Today

I heard the quote "Death is the highest way to gain focus"...meaning it is not until someone is faced with a life or death experience or situation that they have their highest focus and concentration.

My question then becomes, why do we have to wait until we are faced with a life or death situation in our lives for us to focus on what is important to us? It's not to say we need to live life focusing on death every second, but more so live life like it's your last day. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us, so give someone you love the flowers now verses at their funeral.

We often take life for granted and those we love, today is a great time to start to "focus" on what is important to you. What are your priorities? how do they align with your life purpose and your character? What are you doing to achieve your dreams and goals? What have you always wanted to do? places to see? things to do? hobbies to try? new places to eat? fine wine to taste? what are you waiting for? Do you have your "Bucket List"? because I do! And I am working to cross my items off:)

Don't wait for the "coulda", "shoulda", "woulda" and "what ifs" situations in your life". Life is too short...NOW is the time.

In closing, I would like to share on of my favorite poems to live by, I hope it inspires you to live a FULL and Juicy life as well.

"Why Not Today"~Anonymous
Mend a quarrel
Seek out a forgotten friend
Write a love letter
Share some treasure
Give a soft answer
Encourage Youth
Keep a promise
Find the time
Forgive an enemy
Listen
Apologize if you were wrong
Think first of someone else
Be kind and gentle
Laugh a little
Laugh a little more
Express your gratitude
Gladden the heart of a child
Take a pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth
Speak your love
Speak it again
Speak it still once again

Namaste,

~Maureen
