Yesterday I had the opportunity to reflect upon my life. Reflect upon all my experiences thus far and I couldn’t help but feel this immense feeling of gratitude. I’ve been so fortunate. Not that I haven’t had my share of traumas and painful experiences but they pale in comparison to the abundance of joy, of happiness, of love, of life that I have experienced. My happiest moments I realized have been lived with others, dancing, playing video games or sports, eating a meal, watching a movie, working together, studying, working on a project, tackling a challenge, etc. It’s been such an amazing journey and I can’t help but feel the joy that comes from realizing each day is magical. Each day we have the capacity to approach this world with a vast amount of love.

I understand now that things I lived at 5,10,15,20,25 years of age will never be repeated. They have been once in a livetime moments that I will forever cherish. Knowing this truth I decided from today onwards to cherish everyday. To approach everyday with love, with abundance, and more importantly with service.

Questions: How did I make the people around me feel today? What good things did I do for those around me? Did I put goodness in to the world today?
