The School of Thought and the Cycle of Life, Love and Moving On

We all have experienced loss in our lives, whether in the way of losing a loved one, a job, or even something as benign as our hair.

In each case, the struggle is real, and should not be taken lightly.

However, also in each case, at some point, we must reach the destination of acceptance.

We have to, in order to appropriately and productively move on.

Life is about living, and not just in the moment, but for the future.

There is nothing that any of us can do about the past.

The past is over, done; gone.

We can recall it, relish it, learn from it, and even maybe embrace it a little bit.

But not too much; not to the measure at which point we live in it.

We can’t.

Living is about now, and tomorrow, not yesterday.

Living is about loving who we are; where we are, now, today.

Every moment should be a time of reflection, new beginnings, and fresh starts, and new education; we have the chance to embrace countless opportunities to learn; to reboot, review, and rewrite our fate; our destinies, combined or singular; alone or with others; with family, friends, colleagues.

Take the chance of today, on today.  Move on from the past.  Appreciate it.  Cherish it.  But move on from it, and take what you can and learn from it and apply it to today…in the most wonderful, exciting and beautiful ways.

Never forget those we have lost; always remember what has brought us to this point; what has shaped us; how we have responded; what has worked; what has not worked; and apply all of it with renewal.

Renew constantly.  Rewrite your scripts of life.  Study in the school of thought and life; the academics of who you are unending.  Your graduation is forever pending.  There is no final exam.  There are only teachers, in every form, surrounding you every second.

But know that your most important professor is yourself.

You teach yourself.  Ultimately, you are self-taught.

You are the teacher and the student.

You have the ability to instruct yourself.

So, study hard, and live your A-life; a passing grade that not decide your graduation, but permit you not to let your life pass you by.
