When life passes you by...

The beginning of every week sounds the same: "Well, it's a Monday", "This week is going by ssooo slowly", I can't wait til the weekend!" "I have so much homework to do" and "All I need to do is get through this week."

I think we need to change this for two reasons.

One...we tend to miss life as it rushes by us, especially if we're looking towards the future and missing that which is right in front of our eyes. Next thing you know, it's been a year since you've been home and a week since you told your parents you love them. Next thing you know, you're a college graduate looking back on all the times you sat in your room with friends sharing a good laugh about nothing in particular and you'll marvel at how fast they came and went.

Two...I think we should learn to love the tasks that are set before us. Yes they may be hard and grueling, but that's how we grow. We can't learn more, reason more, say more, and do more if we never challenge ourselves. Not only that, but many of us have been given the opportunity of a higher education which, although more common in this day and age, is not a commodity. Work is hard, but that's the road we chose to take. Therefore, embrace it and attack it with all the soul you can muster.

Love more than the weekends. Thank God it's Tuesday!
