The weight of life.....

This may be a little difficult so stay with me. How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you are carrying a backpack. I want you to pack all the stuff that you have in your life.


Now you start with the little things, shelves, drawers and knick knacks. Then you start to add larger stuff. Clothes, table top appliances, lamps, T.V, etc. Your back-pack should be getting a little heavy now.

Then you go bigger. Your couch, car, your home. Stuff it all into that back-pack.

Now fill it with people. Starting with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office.

Then you move with people that you trust with your most intimate secrets. Your brothers , Your sisters, children, parents and finally your husband, your wife, your home, boy-friend and your girl-friend.

Get them into that back-pack. Feel the weight of that bag. These things weigh us down until we can barely move. Make no mistake; your relationships are the heaviest components in your life.

All of those negotiations, arguments and secrets, compromising. How much to they weigh?

Listen .... The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals are meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a life-time. Star-cross lovers, monogamous Swans.

We are not Swans. A swan can move as slow as they like and live. A Shark, if it moves slowly, will die. It is important that Sharks move in order to channel water through its gils to allow it to breath. Therefore we are Sharks. How do I know? Because we are constantly moving trying to accomplish this & that.

We think if we sit still something will pass us by. Because we take little time to share ourselves with those who loves us and whom we love.

We are busy with the rat race of this world's life, its economics, its politics, etc. But even Sharks will take a moment to glide and enjoy the moment. Why don't you?

Therefore, how much does your life actually weighs? Do you honestly know?

Listen, when it is all over here, when your love ones are looking at you for the last time; and if God allows you the time to reminisce over your life, what will be more important? your worldly accomplishments, the money you accumulated, your home, cars you've purchased?  Relationships??????

What? ... What? ...What?.....

What kind of legacy do you intend to leave behind. These are good thoughts to ponder ... these are good questions to answer.....

I stated this in a precious blog:
Every man must live with the decisions he make in this life.  And you have two choices ...  -To exercise the spirit of a boy or The wisdom of a man. 

The same applies to women.  ... You too have two choices ... To exercise the spirit of a girl or The wisdom of a woman.



These are good thoughts ....And good questions to answer... What do you think?
