A tourist in your own life

From the Daily Motivator

Tourists usually experience life at their destination with a sense of urgency. They know their time there is limited and so they want to make as much of the visit as possible. Tourists often appreciate a place even more than the people who live there.
If you have four days to see the sights, you can get around to quite a few of them. If you live there and you can see them anytime you want, somehow you rarely find the time.
Consider what it would be like to visit your own life as a tourist. What things would you make sure to do? What things would you stop taking for granted? How much more deeply would you appreciate the good things around you? How much more would you take advantage of the possibilities available to you if you knew you had to leave them behind in a few days?
Look at your life through the eyes of a tourist and you'll find much that is special indeed.

Everyday life has its amusing roadblocks, learn to laugh about them.

 

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

As we tend to get older, some of us tend to dwell on the past as if it were the only good time they had. Others talk about the past as it's the only thing they remember. Yet we  all reminisce about the past as if something is missing today. I find that dwelling on the past for me happens when something pleasurable happens that reminds me that I'm getting older and somehow as age creeps upon me I know that there is less of a future to look forward to. Funny how time flies when you don't want it to.....
