“Even if your hands are shaking and your faith is broken… Even as the eyes are closing do it with a heart wide open… say what you need to say.”
Life is too short and too much of a blessing to let moments of hesitated breath pass us by. Too often, our minds get in the way of our hearts and we let precious words that need to be said pass us by. How often those words, seemingly superfluous, at the time were really the ones that would have changed a life. It is all hidden in the small, detaily things in life that we find a smile in the corner of our mouths. In the age of bug organization and big acheivements, we miss the small things in life that have the power to be big, if looked at closer.
In the movie The Last Samurai, Katsumoto says to Tom Cruise; “If one spent a whole life looking for the perfect cherry blossom, it would not be a wasted life.” Who says that being a CEO of a company is what it is all about. Ask any CEO if they are tuly happy and then get back to me. What if we all tried to live life in the way God originally intended us to? What if we married young, started families, and enjoyed good food, good music, and good books. Would that not be enough? A life of love, compassion, and freedom from the bruising powers of the world sounds good to me.
