Excerpt from Win the Day by Mark Batterson

A sociological study involving fifty people over the age of ninety-five consisted of one survey question: If you had your life to live all over again, what would you do differently? Three replies emerged as a consensus. One, risk more. Two, reflect more. Three, do more things that live on after you die.

All three of these notions have merit but let me add one more to the mix. Enjoy the journey! Life is too short not to enjoy every age and every stage. I believe the best is yet to come, but the grass is not greener on the other side!

If you don’t enjoy life now, you won’t enjoy it then. If you don’t enjoy life here, you won’t enjoy life there. Don’t fall into the when/then trap of thinking we’ll be happy when we find ourselves in a certain set of circumstances.

We have to guard the present against two threats, two thieves. The first is past-tense guilt. The second is future-tense anxiety. They come to kill, steal, and destroy. How do we guard against them? We make a pre-decision to enjoy the journey… no matter what, no matter when, and no matter where!

Have a nice day, unless you have already made other plans…take care of yourself and others!
