Today's culture gives us liberty, freedom and the right to pursue our dreams and visions. Yet in many instances we become enslaved to our livelihoods, the same livelihoods which we felt would allow us to enjoy our lives.

One of the greatest lessons in life is to allow the search or the yearning we all have inside of us to manifest, and become the product of that desire.

Every day is educational and illuminating in some form. We as the human race, must grasp the quality of each moment. We must take hold of those moments and allow them to become prosperous in our lives.

We cannot and must take determine what we have learned by the quantity of time spent in each endeavor. Unfortunately due to financial strains, family obligations, and cultural expectations, we may find ourselves living for someone else, and not for ourselves.

There are moments in our lives, which can change the course and direction of our very being. We must take the time to acknowledge such pertinent moments in our lives.

Lessons or experiences we encounter may not always be pleasant, yet they are instrumental in forming who we become. Listen with an ear of expectation. Move forward with anticipation. Enjoy life with a spark of exclamation.

Take each day, and incorporate a lesson learned, and explored for your life. I am sure you will benefit and blossom.

Thank you BJ. I might add that there could be a bright side when "we may find ourselves living for someone else, and not for ourselves" IF that someone is Jesus.
Blessings

Great article. Yes, every experience has an impact on what (or who) we becomme and, I suppose, our response to every event reveals how far we've come in our spiritual maturity.



Thanks for the insights.
