Recently I filmed a segment for the BBC. It was a tiring but immensely fun day, the subject being seeing a more positive world. I enjoyed it so much that it’s become a fabulous personal moment for me, one that sits very high up in my life’s special moments list. Because that is what life actually is. A series of moments spanned together to become a lifetime. Little snapshots of time, one after the other, representing our own album called Life. That BBC moment is filed under mine and called ’A Great Time’ in 2008. It goes with all the others from various days gone by and will be filed with all those to come.
Life is a moment on Earth. Million upon millions of them for each of us. Some we really notice; birth of a child, a wedding day, graduation, the holiday of a lifetime in the Bahamas, or the death of a loved one or similiar. Most drift us by as our daily routines but they are there just like x-rays or microwaves that burst into life now and again. But they are always there day in day out.
Each moment is unique. Each moment has the potential to be special, momentous, new and exciting but we simply get up each morning and sigh, “Another boring Monday”, or “Back to the daily grind”. Life doesn’t provide that; we define it, choose it and make it happen that way. It can be oh so different. Remember that feeling when you took and look at photos of Xmas, a 21st party or that wonderful trip the family had last Spring? YOU are the camera. YOU can record the same moments through your eyes every day, starting today. You can snap into good times and snap out of bad ones in your mind in a moment.
Your old photo albums of your life are full up of previous moments inside you. Think of one and you can bring the emotion to mind too. The new ones haven’t been created yet. So picture what’s coming next. Take a moment to envisage then live all the great moments you are going to enjoy to come. Picture it, feel it, experience it, LIVE IT. You won’t regret it for a moment!!!
