This month I've spent a lot of time with my family. Of course the holidays were the reasons, however the lost of a love one played a specific role. My cousin Chris died this month. Very unexpected tragedy, he was young, smart, intelligent and hopeful. A year ago his mother died from a tragic bicycle accident. So I can only imagine what his year has been like. We've spent time with him and the family throughout the year, and he seemed to be moving on with his life and enjoying all unexpected changes. I do think he was missing something in his life, he wanted more. And it saddens me to know that he died without achieving all of his dreams. It was a wakeup call for me.
Don't live life wondering and daydreaming of how life can be. But to live it working on what you want it to be. Stop living off the happy feeling of what can happen, but to stop over thinking it and just do it. Love hard, trust openly. Sometimes we are born into circumstances that disable opportunities in our future, but if we use the negative beginnings as motivation to change the lives of our own children and ourselves we can live abundantly. He was taken too soon.
This post is dedicated to you Chris Noel.
