Gayla's Birthday Reflection


A Birthday Reflection:

What matters in life is often viewed as peripheral to the things that we usually focus on. As the saying goes: "The most important things in life aren't things at all!"

Over time, passion takes a backseat to production, wellness to working, and balance to busyness. The old adage that "life is not a dress rehearsal" is so true, and yet we act the contrary by putting off what is truly important or wasting precious time and energy by indulging in things that aren't!

On your next birthday, stop focusing on your age and meditate on your life at that moment. Ask yourself how can you make it better, how can you make a difference! Rearrange your priorities. Spend less money and more time with your loved ones. Be grateful! Give to those in need. Love others sacrificially and love yourself enough to make caring for yourself a priority. Live everyday on a constant quest of discovery, especially for what really matters most to you and then live your life as a true reflection of what that is! "He is no fool to give what he cannot keep to give what he cannot lose!"

Thank you, God, for my life. May it glorify you and bless others. Today, I celebrate me!
