Game minute


As you sit in the stands at a game and anticipate the next move hoping your team scores, time seems to slow down and everyone is moving in slow motion. Time does this when life is either going above and beyond great or when tragedy strikes. Although everything seems to be standing still, your life flashes before your eyes and your heart is the only thing racing.

There are days when, from the moment you wake up you are a success. Nothing could trip your step or take your eyes out of focus. While there are other days, where, from the moment you wake up your are doomed to fail. Every step you take is heavier and heavier and you seem to get farther and farther away from any accomplishment.

These are two extremes, but the normal day-to -day non-game minutes seem to just pass the time until the next rush of adrenalin comes along. Living life this way sets up for failure more than success.
So how is it, that we can live meaningful happy lives, without these extremes? where there are no well anticipated (stuck in time) moments, yet blessings and glory prevail. Your heart keeps a steady strong beat and nothing interrupts your pace through life.
Is this an imaginary world?
I hope not.

What is it that over complicates life, and is there such a thing, as a stress-free life?
Even if you change your current situation, wont there be other, new hauntings wherever you go?
I mean I'm not saying life is dreadful and there is this giant rain cloud hanging above head.... I am just trying to put together an ideal world, erasing these things that can change one's joy in an instant...
The best answer I can come up with so far, is surrounding yourself with family. They know you better than anyone else. Regardless of how uncool or "not-understanding" they are, they are the ones that will be there. Ha even when you wish they would just go away.... Which I hope doesnt happen....
where would we be without family? ; ) haha.
