Who are you....REALLY?

Where did you come from?

It was awards night of my senior season of football when my coach handed all the senior players a coin.  It simply read–‘Remember who you are and where you come from.’ Nine simple words that meant so little at the time to a know-it-all, invincible 18 year old boy.  Yet over the years, these simple words have taken on so much more meaning than that November night in the Hampton-Dumont High School cafeteria.

You see, we all are guilty of moving on from things, events and circumstances without truly appreciating ‘the moment’–myself included.  We sometimes forget–  Who we are & Where we came from.  We become so fixed on “What’s next?” “Where am I going?”  “When will ‘it’ happen?” These questions force us to abolish the amazingness of ‘the current moment’ and not truly take in the unbelievable blessings and gifts that we have in front of us.

A Thought For Today

The old saying ‘You can’t see the picture if you are standing in the frame’ is so true.  We forget that we need to stop ‘escaping’ our real life through engaging in social media, technology and other distractions.  It’s ok to spend time alone and listen to our inner guidance.  It will never lead you astray.

• If you are frustrated. Look around and remember who you are and where you come from.
• If you are scared. Look around and remember who you are and where you come from.
• If you are  anxious.  Look around and remember who you are and where you come from.
• If you are depressed.  Look around and remember who you are and where you come from.

Count your blessings and all that you have been given.

What does it all mean for you in living an Inspired Life?

Everything.
