The Meaning of the Dash

Life is for the living… but what does that mean? To answer that question introspection and retrospection are necessary to understand the philosophy and psychology of the fibers in the threads of our existence. The hyper fixation of when we are born and moment of our demise is like the pac-man that needs the little dots to grow just to eat its ghosts. Time is everything and the moments in between are what inspire us to become who we are meant to be. The little dashes on a clock a ticking reminder of how priorities present themselves based on what we choose to let affect us and the energy that carries us throughout the day. Frequently, people let the nature of being human monopolize the headspace that should be used to store memories and lessons that shape us into stronger individuals.

Wishing our time away only to reflect back on the experiences that bring us to the present moment is a pattern of behavior that is frequently exhibited. The perspective we each have stems from the subconscious mind, “you can’t add days to your life but you can add life to your days.” The selection to live for the moment is a destiny which one’s story is written for not what could be, but what is possible when one is willing to embrace what is meant for them. Dash the expectation for what tomorrow holds and walk the path of today with an open heart knowing that the journey is what makes the final destination so special.
