It's Saturday... A time to reflect...
There are some pressing questions on my mind as I reflect through my past week. I want to make sure I make every moment of my life count as I know that in each and every moment I have, I will never get to relive that particular moment ever again. So as I press the mental "rewind" of the past events of the week, I find that I spent time planning and executing professional development for my clients and company, traveling for my company, cleaning and cooking for my family, praying for my family, reading for pleasure (a rarity), attempting to be true to my diet, and many other things. I guess for most of the week, I did spend a great deal of time simply "thinking!"
Oh, the things that are imagined in my mind. I have plotted and won many wars in my mind. I have dreamed of a better time. I have created some of the most vivid stories. If there was a way to capture all the things that have gone through my head even this week, I would be most fortunate. One thing I have noticed is the great amount of warfare that goes on in my mind. I fight daily to drive out the doubts, depression, confusion, anger, revenge, and other forms of evil imaginations that would hold me back. I seek to remain positive in spite of difficult situations. I hope to remain optimistic in the reality of opposition. I want to conquer, not be enslaved. But the reality is that most of these battles are fought and won or lost in the battlefield of my mind.
Well, I am sitting here "thinking" as I attempt to write, and the "thinking" is overpowering the "writing". So... I guess I will close for now. As I leave, I want to remember the importance of every second of my life. I will not travel this path ever again. Will I make the choices today that have a bearing on eternity? Will I waste any of the precious moments of my life today on mundane ordinary things? Or... Will I live an epic day conquering the battlefield of my existence and my mind?
