Young people want to live in the future. Older people want to live in the past. Nobody wants to live in the present. And where has joy placed itself? In the present. So if you ever wonder why it is so hard to have understanding about life, maybe the answer is: You don't live where it lives. - Prem Rawat
My conscience couldn’t help but speak her mind after reading this quote. She threw me thought-provoking questions that left me reflecting deeply with my life. But she was kind and gentle. And it was easy to discern her voice from what seemed to be noise – The one which screams pointless guilt instead of peaceful realization.
Yes, we had a conversation, a heart-to-heart talk. But I don’t have any definite answers for now; Only thoughts… and more thoughts.
* * * * * * * * * * Where do I live? Where have I been living? It seems I have been dwelling all in the wrong places…
I still live in the past. Sometimes I blame it for taking me where I am now.
I also live in the future, Fearful of what hasn’t come.
It seems I still don’t know where I should be, Where I am supposed to be. But when will I learn? When shall I strive to seek that life which lies at this very moment? When will I stop wandering only to find myself lost?
I don’t know the answers. And yet the answers are up to me – Up to me to discover. Up to me to explore.
Dear God, please help me be wise.
I press ontoward the goal to win the prize for which God has calledme heavenward in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:14
