"The most frightening aspect of life is not knowing why your here"

150,000 people die everyday on this planet and you're not one of them, well at least not today.

That makes you the next big thing.

Goals are so important and yet you can understand why, it would seem practically everyone lives for today, the moment.

Through the advent of negative media (try and find a happy human story in the news without having to go through 30 minutes of pain and suffering) we as a collective bunch get bogged down in a kind of brainwashing.

What's in it for me right now forget tommorrow, chance is, I could be toast or at the very least still be at my crappy job, grinding myself down until they tell me to go away after forty years of dedicated service.

And people wonder why our youth don't seem to care about the future.....why should they, we've tricked them into thinking that now is the only time they need to consider.

Forget tomorrow..it never comes right?

My next door neighbour lived 60 years of seemingly blissful exsistance to look forward to retirement and growing old with his extended family.

Practically all of them died in a car wreck that he bought the tickets for and he now can't bring himself to suicide.

I think my next big thing will be to go play with my kids, get them away from that blasted playstation thing and down the beach, into the forest, I'll take my wife out for lunch, buy her flowers, tell her I love her, maybe ask Bob next door if he wants to play golf, he use to play every week before they all left him.

Who knows, maybe someone I make smile today, might think that was their big thing today.

Thanks Julie......you often know how to make me see my life as it should be;>)
