Sometimes in life a person runs across a time where they feel like they have nothing important to write about. They feel as if what they are doing really does not matter at all. They think their life will never add up to something significant. Each day is spent thinking about how dull their life is and how they want to do all these wonderful and exciting things.
But the sad part is that they never do them. We dream about it and put it off till tomorrow, and then the day after that, and it never gets done.
Sadly that’s what happening to many of us. We become so depressed in what are lives are like and what they are becoming, that we never change and keep thinking on what we will do tomorrow.
No matter how many times we go through a time of depression, or time of great longing; we still have not realized how this can be stopped and overcome.
We focus on the future. What we will do differently next time, what things we will try next week, or how to change some detail about our everyday lives.
And we never see the present. We never see how we can change the things we are doing at that moment. How doing something right there and then can matter for eternity.
It’s not a question of what will I change, or how I will do it differently. But, rather a question of what will I do right now. And what will I keep doing.
So many people stop right there, and never go any further. They never change their lives because they keep hoping for the morrow, that something better will turn up.
Each day is spent in a vain hope, and with no change whatsoever; except that the smile is swept of their face and the joy is gone from their life. Because they never showed anyone that they cared. And never believed they could change the world, and really matter.
What do you do when you realize that this is in you life, that you have become an average person, just living through life, and not trying to reach out to our world?
Stop it, and do that little thing you thought would be nice for someone. Give someone a hug. Help an elderly or disabled person. Go to an orphanage and just be there with the children. See the needs around you and meet them.
The most important thing is to keep doing it. Never giving it up, and striving to accomplish what we have set out to do.
If we fail here, we will keep falling back into that depression, never changing, and never mattering for eternity.
