- End of the Roll
Dear Friends,
Why is it so hard for people to change the toilet paper roll? A patient once told me that life is like a roll of toilet paper: The closer you get to the end, the quicker it goes. Pretty accurate. I swear I am paying taxes or buying Christmas presents year-round.
Time does seem to move faster with each year. Maybe it’s the fact that each passing year makes up a smaller portion of your life as a whole. When you are 3 years old, one year is 1/3 of your existence. When you are 50, one year is 2 percent of your life. I can’t say for sure. But as I age, I do believe one of the tricks to happiness is figuring out how to slow down and enjoy the moment. I haven’t perfected it by a long shot. You may not be able to slow down time, but you can control your outlook on the present.
Some live in the past: reminiscing or not letting go. Many live in the future: worrying or waiting for more. Dwell on the past or future and you miss the only moment you can ever BE IN: the PRESENT. Oh the precious present. It is a 🎁. I have heard many variations of this quote: “Happiness is not a destination, but a way of travel.” That only happens if you live in the now.
Your health is a similar journey. Pine for your youth, and you will age even more because you aren’t making the most of what your body can offer today. Fret about the future, and you will be paralyzed by fear and waste your youth.
Say your age out loud. Do it! That, my friend, is the youngest you will ever be again. So use that to your advantage and live right now. When you live in the present and layer small daily habits, good things will compound in ALL facets of your life.
So next time you get to the end of the roll…quick change it out so it doesn’t remind you how close you are to the end. 😊
