Life Is Too Short — Not Just A Cliche

By on Thursday, September 29th, 2011 | 1 Comment

The older you get, the more you realize how short and precious life really is. Why do we need to age, to lose the opportunities in our youth, in order to realize the opportunities that are presented before us? At every age, there is something miraculous to behold, if we could just let go of the fear that drives our decisions, then we could experience things never dreamed of.

As we get older, we begin to realize that life is shorter than we ever thought possible. Where once a year to your next birthday seemed like a lifetime away, now you are finding that the months and years are flying by. You are realizing that time is uncontrollable.

We all have seen the child who seamlessly has no fear. They are the ones who dive right into the pool without knowing how to swim. These individuals are born with a dulled sense of fear and forethought. I would suggest, however, that it is not that they have a diminished sense of forethought, but rather that they have come to realize that the risk of trying something pales in comparison to the reward of accomplishing it.

That is a lesson we could all benefit from. We must all try to see the reward as being greater than the risk.

This economy is filled with so much turmoil and fear that most of us are feeling lucky to still be employed. If you are in a position that is going nowhere and finding yourself frustrated at not being able to advance or feel utilized, then it is time to speak up. It is time to demand better.

I know it sounds crazy in this atmosphere to ask for, or to think that you can get what you want not only for career advancement, but so too for job advancement. At hard times like these it is unimaginable that you should think that you can get more.
