We are the creators of our time. We have complete ownership of our time. What if we could drop our complaints, and take full ownership over our time? That means intentionally deciding how we want to spend the hours we have available.
They say the only constant in life is change. They are right.
Sometimes we plan out our lives—our days, our weeks, our years—and everything falls into place. But other times, we make our plans, only to have them upended by circumstances outside of our control.
Either way, the only constant is change. Life never remains the same. Sometimes it changes for the better, sometimes it changes for the worse, but always for something different than today.
I find myself reflecting on that fact this morning as I sit alone at this empty table. My life is good, and peaceful in this moment. My family is happy, and we are all healthy. I have friends I can rely on, extended family I enjoy being with, and our financial needs are being met doing work that I love.
It is easy, I suppose, to think life will stay this way forever. But that is not the case. Everything could change as early as tomorrow.
But I do not think the best response is to worry about the future. I mean, the change that is coming could be a positive one. Besides, worrying won’t change the future anyway. Change is going to happen whether you worry about it or not.
Instead, I think the best response is to fully appreciate this very moment, because it could change at any time.
If life is good, count your blessings, be thankful, and enjoy the moments—every single one of them. Slow down, take a deep breath, and savor this season as best you can.
If you can only live one moment at a time, you might as well make it the present.
After all, we have no idea how long “today” will last… everything could change as soon as tomorrow.

Hustle and Sacrifice
An attitude of gratitude
Sometimes we need to control, sometimes we need to say yes and surrender to the flow
Saying no to the trivial many (things) and yes to the critical few (things)
Guilt is, “I feel bad.” Shame is, “I am bad.”
Shoes that don’t fit are not a bargain at any price. A good idea that can’t be executed is a bad idea.
