Have you ever planned your day to a minute and then have it thrown out in a minute? That was my day on Monday, the day was fine and then earthquake. In that moment I saw that no matter how you plan anything can happen to throw it out of wack. As I curled under the desk in my office and prayed that it would stop I thought of my husband and kids. That moment reiterated the reason for my wanting to live. It had nothing to do with work. I was there but my family meant more and that’s they way it will continue to be for me. The first thing I did when it was finished was to call my husband and check if the kids schools had sent out bulletins. Then I called my nephew-son. They are more core and my life. Life is fleeting.

After the earthquake you never become fully comfortable because you sit on pins and needles expecting aftershocks. Imagine living your life like that. Never truly being comfortable because of stress and drama in your life. That’s the reason I don’t do drama. My life can’t be in constant flux because someone needs an adrenaline rush. I can live like that. There must be comfort in my day not a constant rush to move from one crisis to another. I know persons that live like this because that’s them but not me, it’s draining.

This is not to say I will discontinue the planning of my time, no that must go on so I can have some control. If I don’t do that others will have full control of your time and by extension your life. That I won’t allow. Why would I allow work to take over all other aspects of my life? There must be boundaries. If not then everything that is thrown at you will stick. It, meaning your life is owned by someone else. Think about it. You can do nothing without their say so and they are not your family. Is it worth it or do you stand up for yourself? Life is for living on your terms.

Someone mentioned to me one day that very often poor people are happier. His theory was that they didn’t try keeping up with the Jones and they were just happy to have life and family. What do you think? Not having to worry about so many things can make you much happier.

Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.

Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear
