Cameras have a way to reflecting things to us that we rather not see. According to my children, I need to be a little lighter and add more humor to my thinking. Today I am trying to alter that attitude. I guess it comes from being the responsible person for so long. Sometimes responsibilities are cumbersome and heavy; like carrying heavy weights around. It is not a position that I wanted, but one that was given to me. So I began to think “it is never too late too change and lighten up”. Some people eat spinach to get strength like Popeye; I need to eat a humor pill. I am looking for the flavored ones that come in orange and strawberry.
Looking through the lens of a camera. Do we really see what is happening? Is it too late to change?
It’s never too late to learn something new, like a hobby, a sport, or a skill. It is playing that teaches us as children to love singing, dancing, and drawing. Children imitate and try new things willingly. They jump on the pogo stick, run up the hill, tow the wagon with toys in it or kick the ball. They might learn what they are good at drawing, or singing and keep trying new activities.
It’s never too late to change a bad habit or to grow in some way. Sometimes we do not recognize that we have bad or annoying habits until they are pointed out to us. Habits can make life easier or make our health and welfare decline. Decide which it is for you and be willing to change or accommodate circumstances. Maybe it is spending money differently or doing more exercise. It may be to stop smoking, eating candy, or some rude behavior.
It’s never too late to reconnect and heal a relationship. We all have the potential to change, to create new thought processes, and learn from the past. It may not mean you’ll be best friends, but it will allow you to move ahead and close down the past with peace.
It’s never too late to forgive someone that has harmed you. People are unintentionally hurtful and need reminding. Perhaps we know that we are thin-skinned and get hurt easily. Or someone may have been injurious to us. Now is the time to forgive. Let God be the judge and move forward with forgiveness. It doesn’t mean we put ourselves in their path again.
It’s never too late to try a new menu or read a new book. Foods are so much fun to try. Some cooks make everything wonderful and tasty. I had a friend who could make anything taste superb. Unfortunately, we don’t live nearby or I’d hire her as a private cook.
Trying a new book or going from fiction to non-fiction for awhile is fun. Reading takes us out of our own worries and reality into fantasy with words. Try it.
It’s never too late to change professions or go back to school. Until we are dead, we are able to try new things. It may be time to turn to our passions into business or our business into a new mode.
It’s never too late to start connecting with people and really listening to them. No one is really sharing nor interested in what makes the next person tick or be motivated. Everyone is on their cellphone texting away or watching videos. It is like they are glued to our hands. Let’s reconnect and take an interest in one another. For me, I am looking to connect with some humorous people, read more cartoons, and start my walking regimen. Any walkers out there?
Do we really see what is going on? There may be lots of photos being taken, but do we see?
