The Line

We all stand in line

In days of hardship I often reread this essay/quote.

We are all living organisms, but somehow we often forget just how fragile we are.
Taking the abilities of our bodies for granted. I continue to think about how precious human life is and how we all continue to take it for granted.

“Every minute someone leaves this world behind. We are all in the “the line” without knowing it.
We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.
So while we wait in the line…
Make moments count.
Make priorities.
Make the time.
Make your gifts known.
Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard.
Make the small things big.
Make someone smile.
Make the change.
Make love.
Make up.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved. Make sure to have no regrets.
Make sure you are ready.
The world will often make you wish, you had just 5 more minutes.”

I do not know the origin of the quote that surfaced a few years ago according to my notes, but I reread a my notes while looking for something on my phone the other day and it still gave me chills reading this because of it’s simplicity and profound truths.

People are not only taking their lives for granted they are also scared to change their lives or afraid of being their true selves.
Travel the world, physically or mentally, take risks, express emotion, fall in love, be vulnerable, it is the only way you are going to get the full life experience before your time is up.
Today I want to encourage you to do a couple of those thoughts in the above quote. Go out of your way to make someone smile, make love, make peace and more importantly love life.

Remember, you never know when you are next in line.
