Episode 37
Meanwhile…, and as you live along…, fill your life with beautiful memories.
Today’s quote is titled: BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES
A house is not a Home. A brain is not a Mind. What you fill them with makes all the difference in the world. Fill them with beautiful memories…, unquote.
This is easy to relate to, right?
Our homes were first empty houses that we proceeded to fill with stuff. And a lot of that stuff became family mementos with sentimental values.
Then, over the years we start talking about stuff to get rid of. Maybe, it is to clear out the clutter…, or maybe just an excuse to get new stuff. The decision is made easy though…, knowing that the salvation army is just a call away. They will come to the house and pick up your stuff…. a charitable act indeed …, and that’s a good thing.
Then there are the family times…, the ups and downs…, the good times and the not so good times…, the love, the care, and the happiness…, what became beautiful memories. Home sweet home.
The brain is similar in that, relatively speaking, it was empty when we were born…. and with time, learning and experiencing many new things…, many firsts…, our minds absorbed it all as it expanded with continued learning and experiences. Childhood experiences that became beautiful memories. Beautiful memories that were not of our own design. We just lived like the children we were. Eat, play, and sleep. rinse and repeat.
Then the time came for us to venture into the world…, a world that was not home…, a world we had to learn to navigate…, people we had to get along with and learn to trust.
But most importantly, we had to discover who we are and our place in the world.
We had to continue to develop our minds through education and experience to find ourselves…, something we learned is a lifelong quest …. a journey during which we had to choose to hold on to somethings and some people….
We had to learn to hold on to the beautiful memories and to let go of the rest…. To hold on to beautiful people and to avoid the rest.
We had to find our life’s balance. We had to mind our mind.
We are in a new place and time now…, a new home…, a new mindset…, a new place and time making and collecting beautiful memories…. A lifelong journey.
For however long your journey has been so far…, how have you been? Any concerns about growing old?
