THE MESSAGE
Transcribed on 30th January 2024 @ 02:10 am
Good day to you. There is a song with the lyric, “Life is always the best alternative.” You might want to look that up. The line is quite confusing at first. But what the writer was trying to suggest was when someone is feeling unsure, or depressed, or even insecure, the alternative is always going to be to appreciate your life.
The human tendency is to take life for granted, because it appears to always be there. That is true of course, even for us over our side. But there are countless things being offered by life that are reasons to appreciate it.
Do you recall when you were younger and you actually took time to smell the beauty of the spring air? Do you recall the simple joy it gave you when you smelled the fresh rain in the air? Of course you do. And if you, and everyone that reads my words, were to take a few moments in thought, each of you would be able to draw up a list of those free gifts from life itself.
Often, when people take the time to reminisce about the past, they do so with fondness, as they remember those good old days. Well, now is the time to create them for tomorrow.
For some people, this all seems too simplistic to take seriously. But ask yourself, what was wonderful about yesterday that you recall? How did you make it memorable? The chances are you can’t answer those questions. Why? Because you didn’t take the time to observe them.
Every day of your life contains something of value. Value is worth, and worth is an asset to your life.
Can you start to appreciate now that your life is filled with assets of worth? Every one of your senses are ready to deliver those moments of appreciation . Use your eyes to see beyond what is visible. Your ears to listen beyond the noise. Your nose to detect the fragrances you’re ignoring. Your touch to appreciate the sensual fabrics and materials around you.
Yes, life is indeed rich with assets for you and all to appreciate. Life has a purpose when your purpose is life.
I hope you’ve got something from this philosophy I share with you. God is with you in many forms. Enjoy your life. It is the best alternative.
Goodbye.
