You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die.
Or when.
You can decide how you’re going to live.
Now.
– Joan Baez, American folk singer and songwriter
It’s one of those periods when you think of life – during death anniversary and birthday. May is the period of death and also the period of birth – it’s my Dad’s death anniversary as well as my birthday month, and also birthday month of a few of my loved ones.
Besides the new year period, such periods are definitely the time when we are more introspective and our minds are filled with reminiscences. Did you spend the year well? Have you been doing what you wanted to do? Have you been striving hard at your goals? Have you achieved your goals? Or did the year went by without much meaning and in doldrums?
I hope the year so far has been a great one for you. If not, don’t be depressed, as it will be better in the coming months as long as you understand that you can begin anything at any time, and what better time than now. Start one thing that you have always wanted to do, not tomorrow, but now. The mere act of just doing it, even the tiniest action, is progress. And progress means that today has become better than yesterday.
