Energizing our times ahead? (Part three)

Now that we know what to expect from the inexorable ticking clock of life, the choice is pretty clear. Either we decide to enjoy the ride down the valley of life without doing anything and just looking at the unfurling scenery and watching the overall experience like the vast majority of people do. 

This of course will vary with our current personal situation and condition, physical or otherwise. 

Nothing wrong either with enjoying the scenery, that’s an active and mindful appreciation and constitutes another form of engagement. Sure, before we’re able to envision this, we need to do the hardest part, which is to fully understand and accept our situation and our options.

Also, doing something, even just a tiny bit, in an effort to delay the inevitable and make that time more to our liking and getting some ultimate satisfaction in sensing that we still have some control over the situation. 

That "tiny bit" of doing something can encompass many forms from the physical, the emotional, intellectual, creative, and relational. This breadth is where true richness lives. Just doing nothing would be remiss! 

I say this because there’s still plenty of hope and if we can harness these disparate elements together, we might easily create that symphony that will end on a very high note and that I’m frequently talking about. 

This “high note” resonates with the ideas of fulfillment, presence, and connection, essential elements that too many neglect but which are precious and will help us pass through the “finish line” as happily as we possibly can!
