Present

Last night, I found myself reviewing my old photos, not so old then, but I can no longer recognize them! You know when you look at a picture from 10 years back and you think how funny were the clothes you wore, or why was the hair so weird? Yeah ... but I'm not just feeling this sense of physical change, but innerchange!

Sometimes, and I'm sure many of these times will come yet, life challenges us with choices, spontaneous or not, life brings some doubt, the whys, questions, failures, frustrations and all of sudden we face us having to choose which direction to go, which way should I go? the easiest? the longest? the most effective? the most painful? alone? accompanied? close? far? Anyway ... choices are part of every minute of our lives, some have gone unnoticed, others catch us by surprise and we spent hours or days solving which way we should go.

A few months are becoming long years in my life, and I have a theory for this feelings.
When you choose to do something that wasn’t part of your routine or your first plan, you interrupt a pattern of choices made automatically because of the rush of everyday life, and things change ,it seems that this acts works as a chain of changes and everything start to be different, and the result of your choices begin to bring a wave of new standards, new opportunities, new pleasures, new discoveries, new friends, and it all brings about a background of knowledge and growth that was stored inside you for years and years while we made the same choices!

I do not know what will be the result of my choices, nobody knows, what really matters is that so far it’s already worthy , I have learned that the best, is what happens NOW and the past is what leads to the present, is no accident that we call today the PRESENT, because every day should be valued as a PRESENT, a new day is a gift we receive ... And the future? Belongs to God....So, don’t try to be God! Why you'll be worrying about tomorrow if is what you won today is a beautiful PRESENT...
