Slices
“If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured, it may never arrive. Mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved.” – Maurice Chevalier
When we live life in slices, in moments, we value and honor each day. If we get stuck in the past replaying what’s happened again and again or in the future wishing or worrying of what’s to be, we miss the power that we have in this very moment to make different decisions, to find and be peace, to dream and do bigger, to push ourselves beyond the fray and excuses to attain our best selves.
“But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.” – Thomas Jefferson
Some moments are sweeter than others, but they all culminate to define who we are, where we are going, what’s most important and who we choose to be with on the journey. Someday is today with all of its imperfections and beauty. Slice into each moment, moving step by step into who you are meant to be.
The past can direct us and even define us, but moving forward, stepping out, refines us. One must go over the hill if they wish to see the other side. The more hills we go over, the more rounded our life becomes.

Thanks for the encouragement.
Yes, each moment is a slice of life – of living.
That’s why it’s good that everything doesn’t happen all at once, so we can string together moment after moment into a life worth living.

Being present in each moment is so important as that is all we have! Thanks for the reminder!
