It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. ~Marcus Aurelius
I decided to take a walk a few weeks ago. We came upon an historic cemetery. This cemetery in Decatur is very beautifully landscaped and designed. There are hills and valleys filled with tombstones, corpses, and flowers. Many of the tombstones were dated back to the 1800s. I was captivated by the beauty of this place, but more curious of, how many dreams went unfulfilled. How many people died and their purpose or assignment was never carried out? How many people died never experiencing true love? How many people had talents that were hidden? How many people buried here, died full??
In this journey we call Life, there were certain assignments that we arrived with as we descended from the birth canal. There was an assignment placed upon Your Life!!! Many people in their still moments, as a child or even as an adult hear a voice that informs them of their assignment(s) and how to effectively fulfill them. We get into the habit of allowing our daily routines, relationships, children, careers, and ourselves to overshadow and block our Purpose.
It was once said, “I expect to pass through this world but once, any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, Let me do it Now. Let me not defer it , nor neglect it. For I shall not pass this way again.”
We only have NOW!! In the Keep It Movin Lifestyle, one of the steps is Execute (Execution). Before the dirt falls, recognize your assignment and by any means necessary fulfill your purpose. Leave everything on the stage. LEAVE THIS WORLD AS AN EMPTY CORPSE!
