Start Living
Living is a choice you make every single day
Life has a way of changing the lens we see everything through.
I do not see time the same way I once did.
I do not see life the same way.
I do not move through ordinary moments with the same assumptions I used to.
Not because I planned to change, but because life asked more of me than I expected.
When life knocks you down, getting back up is not always immediate. Sometimes it is slow. Sometimes it is painful. Sometimes it reshapes you. Somewhere in that process, you begin to understand something most people only grasp in theory.
Every moment counts.
Or more honestly, we choose whether to make it count.
Time is precious, yet most of us live as if there will always be more of it. We wait. We postpone living. We delay honesty. We hold back presence. We tell ourselves we will start living once things settle, once we feel ready, once the timing feels right.
But life does not wait for perfect conditions.
This is not a practice run.
The story of your life is not starting someday.
It is happening right now, in this imperfect, unfinished moment.
What changed for me is not how I view love or relationships, but how deeply I value connection. I feel more gratitude. I pay closer attention. I prioritize differently because I can see more clearly what actually matters.
Maybe that is the gift that comes from surviving something hard. You stop postponing living. You stop assuming time is guaranteed. Ordinary moments carry more weight. Presence becomes intentional. Connection becomes something you choose.
But this message is not only for those who have been through something life altering.
It is for anyone who is waiting.
You do not need a crisis to start living differently.
You do not need permission.
You do not need everything figured out.
Waiting for the perfect moment is one of the easiest ways we avoid living at all.
Living is a choice you make every single day.



You’re preaching to the choir, but it is a beautiful sermon!
This was a beautiful reminder for me today!
