Life does go on

As riveting as today might be, tomorrow will arrive right on schedule.

A season ago, quite a few things were different in your life, and in the world at large. A season hence, will be more developments you never could have anticipated.

Through it all, life goes on. And it’s helpful to keep that in mind.

When a notable change comes along, it can easily overwhelm your sense of past and present. But after a while that change gets put into a more realistic perspective, just as everything else has been.

Sometimes the quick pace of change can make you feel like life as you know it is being forever upended. Yet life does go on, and you do adjust, and what mattered before still matters just as much.

As riveting as today might be, tomorrow will arrive right on schedule. When it does, you’ll thank yourself for being soberly and adequately prepared.

Give plenty of attention and effort to the moment you’re in, but not at the expense of the moments to come. Because life does go on, and much of its richness is yet to appear.
