Thursday's Thought

Some of us need to hear and embrace this simple truth today. We spend so much time questioning whether we are realizing our life's purpose. We worry we are wasting precious moments in the lives of our growing children while at the office. Or we fear we are losing out on the opportunity to advance careers we love by staying home. We wonder whether our jobs are sufficiently meaningful. We question when we lost our fierce desire to save the world or reach the lost.

When we find ourselves in the midst of such inner turmoil, it can be helpful to take a deep breath and remind ourselves this moment is not forever. You may very well need to make a change, but you are where you are right now for a reason. Perhaps you need to learn a certain lesson before you can move forward. Maybe you need to acquire a certain skill that will serve you well in the future. You might need to meet a particular person before the next chapter of your life can unfold. 

Take a moment today to sit where you are and consider the present. What more you can gain right here, right now?
