"To Be Here"

Have you ever been on the receiving end a of proclamation that sort of reprimands you when it is exclaimed that, "you should've been there?!"

Personally, I know that I have been on that receiving end quite a few times. And some of those times, I must admit, was the biggest Blessing in disguise that I was NOT there and did INDEED "miss out." Some of those times I knew exactly what I was missing out on...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Then there are those times when you know that you know that you should have INDEED, been present.

But it is not in the past that we dwell nor reside. It is in the now that we move forth, with pride pushed to the side.

For if it hinders you, it is only a matter of time before it beckons you to surrender to it.

Therefore, we right our wrongs, take mental notes as we progressively move along, so that we are not back in the same position, singing the same old song.

Some tend to think that Life is all about being "present." I too tend to agree, but there is nothing like a LIVE performance.

It is not just good to be present anymore. You need "To Be Here."

Wherever you were prior to today matters not. What matters most is that from this day forth, come hell or high water, you will do everything in your power, "To Be Here."

It is understood that you may not go back and check the "present" box for all of the times that you were absent...."Lesson Learned."

But the Glory is not in having the power to undo what you did or did not do. No, the Glory is in the ability to alter and change your mindset, coupled with the fact that you have been severely Blessed with the opportunity of a 2nd chance, to get it right this time around!

And THAT alone is far better than any "collective do-overs."

Since no one man or woman are perfect, I painstakingly cringe at the mere thought of being "one and done."

It is no longer good or even acceptable to just be marked "present." You now need..."To Be Here," so that you do not "miss out" on...ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!

Do whatever it takes, "To Be Here."
