Is this it? Does everything start to go downhill from here? With every moment based on the one before, we have a tendency to have this up or down factor. “This wine was better than the last”. “The movie was not as good as the last one they did”. “I didn’t make as many sales as I did last month”. So at every moment, you have to potential to hit your peak. Every moment has to potential to be the best moment in your life… then everything just crashes from then on…because at some point, everything is just not the same as the last. And we wither away to a bitter state, not as content as we were before. The world is not as filled with as much surprise as we had hoped…

I like to say that I am prejudging how people perceive their lives, but the sad fact is that many people do live their lives in this fashion. Many wander downward wishing for something that was long gone… the bitter and the sweet. There are peaks in people live and most people do know when that moment is. Most people can probably tell you that exact year when it all started to change. So what is it? Why?

Perception can be blurred.

If we never opened our eyes in the morning, then we would not see the world. We would not know that regardless of precedence or priority, the day is as new as water that falls onto leaves. The day can be exciting without the loud bang of fireworks. Searching for a little whisper in a crowded room can be tough, but once you find that voice, it can turn to the most beautiful thing you have heard.

Yes every moment can be the peak. Is this it? Can I question everything that is to come? Maybe it does get better. Maybe life is filled with much more that what the eye can see and the mind can understand. Maybe this is the best. But with all that, I invite the better to show me more…
