IMAGINE
Imagine
you have the opportunity to
take a trip across the country.
You can stop wherever you'd
like, spend however long you
want at any location, and
have no set timetable. Are
you going to focus solely
on your destination and simply
drive there? Or are you going
to let go of the need to arrive
anywhere at any particular
time and enjoy the scenery,
the people you meet along
the way, and the places you
linger in?
Every
day you have the opportunity
to go on a "cross-country"
trip a once in a lifetime,
twenty four hour adventure
that'll never be repeated
any other day. How do you
wish to spend the time? By
enjoying every minute and
stopping to savor every unique
opportunity, or by simply
focusing on your goals and
trying to achieve them?
Today,
you can reach any destination
or any goal you set for yourself.
But how you do so will determine
how enjoyable and memorable
today will be. The runner
who only looks down at the
road will surely reach his/her
destination, but won't have
the same experience
as
the runner who looks at the
road as well as notices the
sights, sounds, and smells
around her.
Today,
make an effort to notice one
person's face, one facet of
nature, or one event on your
journey to tomorrow.
Today's
Goal: Today, I'll take time
to notice what's around me
instead of just what's ahead
of me.
