What wisdom there is in this way of living.
Our children have been born into a 'selfie' generation, by no fault of their own. We are turning the lens at ourselves more and more these days, and less often turning the lens to look at others.
What's so wrong about that?
Nothing is wrong when it is done to simply capture the moment, yet when it becomes our way of living, focusing only on ourself with disregard to how it may impact others, is where things begin to shift in a negative direction.
The choices we make impact others, from those beside us today to future generations. Yes, I believe in being in the moment, yet I also believe that the choices we make in the moment are to be thoughtful and considerate of those around us now, and those who will be coming behind us.
I invite you all to join me to...
Pause. Breathe. Pray.
And choose to live out this wisdom in our lives. May we make choices in our lives, both small and large, that will positively impact others. May the decisions we make today be a worthy legacy to leave to the generations to come.
With love and hope,
Shawn
