It's April already - the time sure flies. And as I get older, the days tick off faster and faster still. I don't really feel like I'm getting old though, apart from the headaches. They have an effect that I can't quite shake. But this post isn't about headaches, it's about a promise to myself.
As I get older, more experiences and responsibilities float my way. I find that I don't cringe when something comes to my attention, or there is a new thing that I have to handle. Instead, I accept it as life. There is something very special about life that people don't sometimes realize. You have to dig deep and find what makes life special. It's not the easy things. A lot of what makes life so great are the hard things you have to get through and endure. So many people let the little things bother them and get them down. Some are afraid of the big things. I'm not that way.
I used to let these things bother me, but I snapped out of it and saw life as it's meant to be lived. And I'm grateful for that. Too many people get beaten down by things that are out of their control. Some people are too hard on themselves. Some people can't adapt or endure. I made myself a promise a while ago on a fateful day - don't worry about the little things that don't matter. I don't anymore. I let them go. I've become a much more grounded, responsible and humble person. I have God to thank for that. Through him I learned all these lessons, and through him I have found happiness.
That promise will last until my last breath and beyond.
