Portfolio of Hope

Tonight,

you could receive a life changing phone call that would,

quite literally,

change everything.

Your life that you had naively assumed would remain the same forever,

could be completely ripped apart,

with all sense of ‘routine’

and

‘normality’,

gone.

(Hence why the sayings:

‘Things can change in the blink of an eye’

&

‘All we have is now’,

are not just cliché, cheesy quotes,

no,

they do in fact point to an indisputable fact,

the fact that;

Only what we have now,

in this present moment,

is guaranteed.

Next year,

next week,

tomorrow,

heck,

even our next minute,

is not guaranteed.)

Now,

I don’t write the above to scare you,

but to motivate/inspire you to live your life to the absolute fullest,

to cherish every moment,

to express gratitude for the seemingly “little” things.

Because,

after all,

the seemingly “little” things are, really, the big things…
