Rhythm of Life

     Today I had someone ask me a question that I had never considered. In all of my 22 years of living, no one had asked me: What is the rhythm of your life? Now, before you go on reading, hoping that I will tell you what the rhythm of my life is... I don't know.

     I wish I had the wisdom, when the question was asked of me, to respond with more questions such as: What is included in your rhythm of life? Is it merely the things you do? Can my thoughts influence my rhythm of life? Who gets to determine my rhythm of life? Do my career, the people in my life, or my financial situation influence my rhythm? Is my rhythm fast or slow? Is my rhythm manageable? And last but not least, can I change the rhythm of my life?

     I didn't ask these questions, and don't know if I will have the opportunity to ask them, but I challenge you to ponder these with me. I'll keep thinking about my rhythm and once I've done that for a while, I plan on asking for guidance from those I trust regarding this concept and idea. 

     As I go, I hope to dwell in a positive and effective manner. I hope to eventually create a small list of things that I want to drive my rhythm and a list of things that I will allow to affect my rhythm. But for now, I'll just think and pray.
