The beauty of this world is that it never stands still. Each moment is fleeting, every problem passes, and every day the sun rises and sets again. We each average over 6000 steps in a day. Whether in the right direction or the wrong, we're always moving literally and figuratively. Dwelling on the little things, like what time you went to sleep and what you had for breakfast are interesting, sure, but do these things really matter? No. Because at the end of each day, week, and month we remember the things that stood out. We remember the people and the places and the tasks that meant something, good or bad. Each one of us is in charge of deciding what we feel is important enough to constitute this list. Mine is very different from yours. We all live in our little bubbles, knowing only small pieces of each others' thoughts, actions and situations. And so it becomes important to ask questions, to listen and to keep an open mind. To learn about the people around you, and to respect each person's space and privacy. I think it's just as important, however, to remember that at the end of the day, another person's business is exactly that, and to let things run their course. Because tomorrow things may change. Yesterday is set in stone. The world right now is in the making. And tomorrow is filled with endless possibilities. So why waste today worried about something that happened yesterday, and risk ruining tomorrow, a day with so much potential to be beautiful?
