Seasons Change


There's a beautiful sad song from the 80's I can't get off my head. It's called Seasons Change  and the group's name is Expose. As I remember the lyrics they go something like:
Some dreams, are in the night time
And some seem like yesterday
But leaves turn brown and fade
Ships sail away
You long to say a thousand words but
Seasons Change.
It feels, like it's forever
No reason for emptiness
But time just runs away

Then it goes on and on, saying "seasons change, feelings change, people change". And that is so true! (Hey, didn't the 80's have the best music?  Really?) Anyway, you guys know how I'm always getting my inspiration from music so this won't come as anything strange when I refer to lyrics that just keep circling my mind. 

Time goes by, well actually, time flies or as the song says "time runs away" especially when you're not aware of what has priority, and I'm referring to the essentials in our life. Have you asked yourself lately what is a priority in your life? The dreams, goals and priorities that you had yesterday may not be the same ones that you have today or will have tomorrow but we still need to keep dreaming, we still need to pursue them and we still need to live to our full potential. We must strive to reach our highest potential so that we can live more fulfilling lives. People around us change, their feelings toward us change and our feelings towards them also change but acknowledging is the first step. Then to correct what is faulty and/or missing is the second step which is necessary in order to move on. I ask: can you make a decision today to correct this? What decisions will you make today or this week that will affect your life or the people around you? So often we refrain from making decisions because of fear. Fear of what others might say,  might think or what others might feel towards us. I say living in fear is not living at all. That is not the life God wants for us and that's not the life we should settle for. You should understand you are priceless, you have so much value and you can do so much more. Understanding we are not here by mere accident and that God has us here for a purpose is stepping in the right direction. There's no reason to just settle for something that's good enough: say, staying at your job because even though you don't like it, it's good enough and for now you can pay the bills, and trust me I could think of a thousand more excuses we give ourselves on a daily basis just because... We should change our way of thinking and directing our lives. Let's stop, take a deep breath and think for a moment: what's my main desire? or better yet: what's my purpose on this life? what's my calling? what makes me truly happy? Once we know the answer to these questions we can move forward with ease and the emptiness we tend to feel from time to time will fade away. I believe we can live a life full of blessings, full of light and love, which is far most the greatest quality of all. Because when we feel love we can see the world from another perspective. Start by giving yourself the love you need, as it has been said by centuries, in order to better love others we need to love ourselves first. So show the LOVE!!
Good Day Mates!!
