I’m reading a fabulous book now entitled ‘Chasing Daylight’ by Erwin Raphael McManus (a gift from a wonderful friend). It is kind of befitting for me at this very moment too…as I’m currently without a job and have a whole lot of time on my hands.
Now of course, I can choose to feel all upset and angry at my current situation but I have a choice. Being “Stuck in the Moment” can be a dangerous position…and sometimes we do not even realize (or want to admit) that we are in that place. For some, it could be a past that still haunts us everyday…or a regretful situation that keeps playing like a broken down CD player, over and over again.
My favorite band U2 captures this Moment so well…
“I never thought you were a fool but darling look at you / You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight / These tears are going nowhere, baby /You’ve got to get yourself together, you’ve got stuck in the moment and now you can’t get out of it / Don’t say that later will be better, Now you’re stuck in the moment and you can’t get out of it / …..(and the end)…..It’s just a moment, this time will pass” – Bono
Ever felt like being “Stuck in the Moment”? If you are, do not worry, life is not over. In fact, take a new spin to it…and look at it as an Opportunity to be Victorious and become Stronger than you’ve ever been! But you need to first decide to let go…then you are on your way OUT of that negative situation.
As a simple illustration, just take a close look at your “FEET”…your toes are all pointed straight. Believe it or not, you were created to Move Forward!!! All you need to do is to take one step forward at a time…and make a choice to live in your “Defining Moment”.
