IThe hardest thing about window shopping is dealing with the regret of not buying the merchandise. This is exactly how so many of us live our lives. We spend so much of our lives never really seizing the moment it usually ends in the regret of what we could've or should've done...we are alive but we never live.
When I say live I don't mean just crossing things off your bucket list. I mean seizing each and every opportunity to be happy, joyous, and live the life that the inmost part of our soul is yearning to live. Too often we just do what we know what should be done out of responsibility, routine, and the fear of the unknown or failure.. I love zombie movies. One of the reason why I love zombie movies is because the zombies are a great analogy for what so many of us really are---the walking dead. We are alive but our spirits are dead because we haven't ignited the fire that God wants us all to feel..It maybe a spiritual fire because God is calling for you to have a deeper relationship with Him and you are in need of spiritual makeover, or it may just be God calling you to fulfill your purpose He has planned for you. It could be to enjoy your life and focus more on making you happy and worrying less about others. I spent so many years of my life searching for self fulfillment that it wasn't until i literally got on my Julia Roberts. Eat Pray Love that I discovered God was calling me to write. Writing is something I love as a hobby but I never considered making a career. Now, I have a degree in creative writing, published books, and I own my own self publishing company. I can't express the sense of fulfillment I have. I may not make the salary I want right now, but if you aren't striving to make a career out of doing that very thing that you would do for free the rest of your life then you aren't seizing your God given potential.. Seize the moment. Its never too late to start that new business, get your passport and travel the world, or just learn how to make time for yourself. My only regret in this life is I didn't realize what my purpose on this Earth was sooner. XOXO
