As I sit in my office on a New Year’s Day, I begin to realize
just how fast were are actually going. We buzz through life like rabid
butterflies; eager and anxious to find life’s true fountain of youth; our own
eternal happiness. I also realize that, much of the time we are given is
already cut short by the myriad of endless duties and chores we have chosen to
undertake. When we finally get the chance to land for a bit, we find that the
very things we have been chasing after, turn out to be disappointing and lack
the endless joy we sought out to achieve in the first place.
2014 marks another year for us to reclaim our position on
the ladder of success; whether our version is to be the best parent on the
continental world, the CEO of the business we have devoted ourselves to, or to
attain riches and financial, emotional, spiritual or physical health the likes
we have never seen before. Whatever your desire is, my only piece of advice to
you out there is to enjoy the ride.
I don’t feel I will ever be able to fully express how
critical that portion of the journey really is. We are so dedicated to getting
to our perspective destinations that we abandon the camera and forget to take
pictures along the way. Those momentary stops are what most tracks our progress
and also allows us to navigate more efficiently forward.
In all your getting, in all your achieving, in all your
attempts to be a healthier you, do not forget to celebrate those moments
“in-between”; they are the little bits of sweetness that makes our victories
that much more fulfilling.
Make it a great 2014!
Better yet, take tons of pictures along the way!
May the Joy I feel inside my heart be yours!
-Lou
