All in the View


It’s all in the view. That’s what I mean about forever, too. For any one of us our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. You never know for sure, so you’d better make every second count. –Sarah Dessen

Lately it seems as if time has been flying by. The semester is coming to a close, and I’m trying to remember where all that time went. And as I think back to what has been occupying my time I find that I am wondering if I spent my time doing things worthwhile. Did I make every second count?

The funny think about that question is, just like it says in the quote, it’s all in the view. I might find that the way I spent my time was time well spent, but to others they might find what I did meaningless. One of my goals, is to not have to look back on my life with a lot of regrets. Ten years from now I don’t want to look back on my life and say to myself: “Wow, Jessie. You sure missed out on some great opportunities. You could’ve done some great things, but you forgot that time goes by really fast.”

I want to challenge you: Don’t take one second, one minute for granted. No one is guaranteed tomorrow, so use your time wisely. Fill your time doing things you love. Make every second of your life count. And remember…It’s all in the view!
