Moments

What is the first thing you think of each day the moment you wake up. Is it the same thought? Or is it a different one each day. Is it about work? Is it about family? Is it about a problem or is it a happy thought? What is the last thought that goes through your mind the moment before you fall asleep, was it about a loved one or was it about a dream or a goal or an ambition? What do athlete's go through before their event, what runs through their mind the moment before the whistle blows? What goes through the mind of a man waiting impatiently while his wife is in labour, what does he think at the moment before he holds his child for the first time as a father. What does a soldier think before the moment he dies? Moments, millions of moments fill our lives. It is in these moments, somewhere within them, we derive a meaning towards our life. I sometimes feel life is passing by us so fast, and when you don't have enough of these moments, specially the ones which you are fond of, that makes your heart melt with joy, only then you feel your life has been rich with blessings and you have lived it to its fullest . Cause when death comes knocking at your door, you don't want to lie there scared on that bed worrying with regret of not having lived a full and happy life. You want to open that door with full gusto embracing the next phase of your soul's journey. Fill your life with moments, let there be a million good ones, let there be bad ones and tough moments. Let there be moments you have lost, at least you have given your best in them, let there be moments of regret, at least you have learnt from them, let there be moments of pure joy where you have learnt to dance to them. let there be moments of triumph, where you have struggled yet believed in your self and then accomplished whatever your were pursuing. Let there be moments you shared with someone special, let there be moments you mourned their loss, let there be moments you were proud of yourself and let there be moments your were proud of another.

It's easy when you break your life down to just these moments and only focus on working towards them. Before the whistle is blown for the athlete waiting at the starting line he must have spend hours and hours training before he redeems himself before the finishing line. Or the young woman who carries a life within her as she prepares to be a mother for the first time. Don't hold on to remorse and hate for you will built moments of regret, don't let your ego get in the way so you can repair relationships or even save yourself. We take a lot of things for granted in this life, specially people who are easily available at our disposal. The best example I can give you would be your parents, there will be a moment sometime in your life where you will get that call. The call that ends all possibility for you to have new moments with them. Suddenly in that moment you will realize that all the moments you had with that person has come to an end, it has become history and you will never be able to add more moments with this person again. So hope that you leave every relationship at its best, specially if you care about them. And if currently, if there is a someone who you care about and not in good terms with reach out to them and set things straight , sometimes the unsaid words could have prevented you to experience greater fuller moments to cherish with this person, which was lost due to a simple apology or explanation. Life is passing is by, the older you get the only things you will care about is peace, so let go of the moments that prevent you to have better greater ones, Let go of the moments that reminds you of failure or regret for your still breathing and you can still have the moment to change them. 

But while having these moments there is special moment that happens just for you, it is a moment that keeps calling you, some of us take our chances and take a leap of faith, others hesitate and most ignore it. The moment when life or destiny or you're calling or whatever you want to call it calls out to you. It is a terrifying moment and exciting at the same time, because once you respond to its call nothing is the same again, not even you. It erases everything you think and understand what life is and takes you on its own journey. This moment keeps calling to the ones who deny to respond to it, keeps nudging the ones that hesitate to take it and keeps brings wonders to the ones who have leapt in its direction. It's calling is powerful and the moment you decide to let go and just fall in its direction is the most exhilarating experience. For the power of the human mind is limited to what it can comprehend, and the truth is, the world is a whole other dimension, which is way beyond our understanding. We are living on a rock that has life, otherwise Earth would be like any other planet in our universe, lifeless. We are on this wonderful planet having this experience we called life, and I keep wondering does Mother Earth know me, does she feel me while I add 95kgs of my weight while standing on her. What is her plan for me here, does she know that I'm about to have the moment I yearn for, is she going to call out to me. The moment when life calls you take it, there is no other moment like it, cause it gives every other moment so much more meaning. It gives all the small moments more power, more love, it gives it more peace, trust me sometimes I feel I'm tripping but since I love to trip falling into my moment became easy but it was the letting go part that was terrifying.

Hey you, yes you, I'm glad you made it so far, built new moments from today, let it be moments so awesome that makes your nerve endings feel like your tripping, on I don't know what, fill in the blank. But make powerful moments full of life, travel to the other end of the planet if you have to, cause your watch goes tick tok tick tok and time is flying by, go, go , go make your moments, let it set up free, let it make you want to live every moment with so much energy that makes every moment so addictive with life. Let it make everyone around you full of life and then have collective moments together. And when us as individuals are so empowered by the moments we have created individually imagine what we all could do together. We could stop all the the bullshit that happening around the world created by individuals having very selfish moments or sad hateful moments. I know, I sound crazy but then there was a time, thinking about landing on the moon to sounded crazy. So to all the ones out there running this rat race struggling to have wonderful moments, to you all, I tell you stop running it hasn't changed anything in your life but keep you running on a pointless race. Stop see more value in you and your life and spend your time on this planet living for moments that truly makes your soul feel, yes now I'm living. And if you're waiting for that moment, then I am here to tell you, here I am, this is the moment where it begins.
