My friend Nile Rodgers from Chic, regularly reminds me that these are the good times, both through his music and his inspirational blog posts, which cover his recent health challenges.
- No, these are not perfect times.
- No, these are not ideal times.
- But the present is all we have to work with, so until someone creates a time machine, we need to make the very best of what we have. What we have, is today.
These ARE the good times
As we travel along the road from where we are, to where we want to be, it’s all too easy to put off the good times.
“When I have X amount in the bank, then I will be happy.”
Trust me, if you don’t know how to be happy when you are broke, you won’t know how to be happy when you are wealthy. Wealth and happiness are not as strongly related as many people seem to think. Many of the happiest times in my life came when I was penniless. I also know some very wealthy people, who have extremely poor quality lifestyles. They have the money, but are still waiting for that magical point in time, when they can finally enjoy it all.
As Nile explains far better than I can, every day should be seen as a bonus; something special to enjoy and get every drop of juice we can from.
Whilst working for those things that money can buy, it pays to ensure we are not missing out on the things, which money can’t buy.
As always, thanks for the inspiration, Mr Rodgers!
