Special moments

Posted on by philipdodson


I am currently on holiday with my daughter, she has finished her exams and this was treat for her.

Today, we walked along the beach in the sun dipping our feet in the water and then we stopped and sat with out feet in a rock pool, with little tiny shrimps and fish that were swimming around our feet and legs.

The water was really warm, the sea was coming in behind us on to the rocks, the sun was out and we were sat overlooking a volcanic island.

Simple things are definitely the most special.

These are the moments that matter in life. Make sure that you take time to have as many as you can.

We rarely look back in life at the end on the things that we owned, but we remember all the special moments and often regret not having more of them.

Don’t finish your book too early

In your head.

That’s is where life is.

It’s what we say.

We decide the narrative. We tell the story.

Good or bad.

Kind or hateful.

Love or hate.

Whatever opposites you want.

Fear or bravery.

Hiding or being open.

There are a million shades of grey not just the black and white options.

Whatever narrative you create inside your head, remember it’s you who creates it and controls it.

The story is ours and we get to write every line of every chapter, yet we often allow others to be the editors of our story.

Write it yourself, tell it as you want it, and the good news is you can always re-write the story, add another chapter, change the plot, even re-write a scene, change the characters. It’s completely the author’s choice.

However at the end of our story, the only thing we’ll regret is we didn’t keep writing more chapters.

Don’t get to the end of your book to early in life and settle for the book being done because it’s easy.
