So I was on Pinterest (seems like a lot of people say that these days) and I saw this great quote:
Man, if that isn't relevant to me right now. I just graduated from high school, a lot of my friends have moved away, some are going on LDS missions, and even I'm changing. We can never step in the same river twice. Another quote this reminds me of:
"Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment, because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived." (Captain Picard, "Generations")
Sure, it's a geeky quote, but what an important lesson! We need to look to the future--where we are going to be after college, marriage, families, or maybe it's just a date we're going on next week--but not so far as to miss today. Make memories today that you can draw on down the road.
As I was talking to my roommate the other night, I told her yes, change does hurt, and you're going to miss your friends, family, and how things were, but if we stayed static, how could we learn and grow, and become the people we want, and The Lord, wants us to be?
