Hi friends. You can listen to this message over audio right below, or you can read text version below the audio. Thank you.

Good morning friends.

Dr. Harp Seal here. Thank you for stopping by. I’m really excited to share this message with everyone. Here’s a question I asked myself in the morning for years. Did I just wake up this morning because oxygen is still flowing through my body, or did I wake up to actually live today.

I have said this before. I used to think life was a series of losses and then you die. Now I know life is a series of experiences and then you grow.  Now mathematically speaking, they are both correct. I mean everyday we wake up we are one day closer to death, and we do lose a lot of people and things throughout our lives. However that completely ignores the things we learn and gain throughout our lives. Doesn’t that fact deserve attention too ?

Let me say that another way. Picture browsing in a book story. You come across a book that peaks your interest. The covers says; “It was love at first sight” — The back of the book says; “25 years later it ended in tragedy, shame and death”  — The problem is when you look at life that way, you miss all the pages in between that made up your life and your story. Doesn’t that count ?  — It certainly should because that’s where the majority of your time was invested.

So where am i going with this ?  Here’s where, If you only look at scoreboards in life, you’re missing out on all the life that created those scores. We are not made up of statistics and should haves, we are made of experiences. And what has life taught us ?  Life has taught us experience is our best teacher.

See you tonight friends. Have a great day.
