3 Things
Last night a got an email that really touched me and got me thinking about life which I think is appropriate as this calendar year is coming to an end and another one is about to start. The email is called 3 things, and the portions I enjoyed are:
Three things in life that, once gone, never come back:
1. Time
2. Words
3. Opportunity
I really believe that this is true; you can never get back time or take back words, which were said. Usually you don’t get another opportunity once its gone, even though I believe that its up to you to create opportunity. Time is something, which is so fragile that it important to make the most of everything you do, everything you want. None of us know when our clocks will end and so it is vital to live every moment. In times of anger in times or pain it is easily to spill out words which we don’t mean, I really think that we don’t understand the weight of our words on other and ourselves. We all need to be responsible for the words we say/don’t say and our actions. Words, which are rushed in the heat of the moment, can scar a relationship for life.
Three things in life that can destroy a person:
1. Anger
2. Pride
3. Unforgiveness
I think there are many more things which could have made this list one of which is selfishness. But its true that the ones above can not only tear you up inside but destroy anyone who cares about you.
The most important of the 3 things list is the following; three things in life that are most valuable:
1. Love
2. Family & Friends
3. Kindness
With that in mind, I would like to wish you all a safe, peaceful and joyous New Year. I sincerely hope you all feel the warmth of love and happiness this New Year.
