What about now!

We live in this time and at this appointed point in history. Can we truly change our circumstances, or is life pre-determined and destined for what it is.  Every day we are faced with our lives and whether we like them or not, we simply get on with what is before us and do the best we can in the circumstances.  Like a giant merry go round just going round and round.  We talk of making changes and yet 24 hours in a day gives us very little time to truly change our situation.  We remain daily on the verge - of greatness, of happiness, of mistakes, of regrets and of questions.  How do we truly embrace change and implement some changes, which are necessary before its too late.  How do we strip away the awkwardness, or the realities of our lives.  We try so hard to do things differently in the hope that is will kick start a new season, or time in our lives.  But simply put it is so often like a bag of wind because we are influenced by life and how it keeps turning and in the end we default back to the things that we have now and which seem the best for us.  We should not underestimate the power of our words.  We say things and yet when we actually start to implement them in our lives we realise that we can run to where we are and steal a thousand stars, but actually where we are, is determined by the reality we live in, or are stuck in.  It is grace and mercy that gets us through each day, but it is attitude and a whole lot of luck that gets us to greatness and happiness.  No amount of planning and preparation can prepare us for the way life will treat us.  Never let go and live by the mantra that sometimes life may break you, but don't let go, because it will in the end make you whole.  Life is incredibly hard at times, but it makes us feel alive and our memories and hearts dictate the future we can have, so in the end, the best way is to embrace the here and now and stay patient and positive until we die.
