100 Years From Now....
100 years from now none of us will be on this planet. I don't mean to sound negative or depressing but that is just a fact. When you think about it like that, it gives you a new prospective on life. 100 years is extremely short period of time and very insignificant in comparison to history and creation.
So that being said, how can we take this fact and use it to our benefit? Well, one of things is to realize that things you think are urgent and crisis are generally not that important. If I lose my cell phone, what impact will that have on me 10o years from now? NONE! But think about all the wasted energy we have in our typical day on things like a lost cell phone. That new dress you are obsessing about, what life impact will that have 100 years from now? The mess your kid made, which made you furious, what impact will that have in 100 years? That work project that you are consumed with, what impact will that have on you in 100 years?
I am just asking....
Do this: The next perceived stress or crisis, stop and ask yourself: What impact will this have on me in 100 years? I promise you will take a deep breath and relax realizing most stuff we worry about is just not that important! You then will have some inner peace and that DOES have a POSITIVE impact 100 years from now!
