Our brief moment in time
While I was taking in the sites the other day, I came upon an old black and white picture mounted on the side of a building. The image was of a gathering of men and women attending an outdoor event in the early 1900s. It looked like a beautiful sunny day. The men wore suits and hats. The ladies wore long dresses, decorative hats and carried parasols.
As I looked at the picture, I could see I was standing in the same location as the people in the photograph. The building in the picture had since been replaced with a new building, the dirt surface they walked on had been replaced with interlocking brick, but the location was the same.
As I looked at the picture, I was reminded of how brief our time on this beautiful planet we call home truly is and just as the people in the picture are now long gone, I too will be gone someday.
As I reflected on the temporariness of it all, I was reminded and inspired to:
Remember to always let the people in my life know how much they mean to me and how thankful I am to have them in my life.
Embrace and be thankful for all the moments of life.
Care for my mind, body, and soul in the highest regard.
Live my life in alignment with my inner-purpose; my Big-Why for being here.
Take action that contributes to bettering this earthly experience for all living things including our mother Earth not only for the present but for the future as well.
How about you?
Do you find looking at old images stirs up similar thoughts? Do they inspire you to live your life aligned to your inner-purpose?
I’d love to hear your perspective.
