Meditation on Life Lessons

Meditation on Life Lessons
by Dr. Nadia

Regular reflection and introspection is incredibly important for personal growth. In honor of my birthday month, here’s a reflective meditation on some life lessons that have made an impact on me over the past year.

One year done, another is just beginning
To experience all the experiences
that life has to offer
I am
and I am ready
to be present, to be receptive, to appreciate,
marvel with wonder
The beauty of this life

They say we aren’t getting any younger
And for that, I am grateful
gone are the days of black and white thinking
of youth,
its limited perspectives and life experiences.

It is as I get older
I appreciate
the depths of grays
and the freedom it can bring when we embrace
that we don’t know it all and that we don’t need to
We are human in a human experience
and it is ok.

The older I get, the more I understand
the complexities
of the world around us
and within ourselves
the fragility of moments
the spaces within the silence
when nothing is being said out loud
the silent words between those spaces

The older I get, the more I appreciate
not to waste moments
not take a single heartbeat for granted

Yes, time marches on
Or does it dance, swirl, and leap across the sky like a rainbow?
Or does it sit like dewdrops on blades of grass
Or does it sparkle through like the rays of the sun behind the cloudiest of skies?
It’s all just a matter of perspective, isn’t it?

The older I get, the more grateful I am
to recognize that my life is precious
that I don’t need permission from anyone else
to live my life
on my terms

The older I become, the more accepting I am
of myself and what it means to be human:
to hope
to err
to love
to live
to learn.

My wish this year on my birthday
is for us all to appreciate the beauty of life
that we choose to look for silver linings on our cloudy days
and seek the adventure of going beyond comfort zones.
May we be grateful for what we have
and focus on giving others
the present of our time and presence.
Of all the gifts
it is the most precious

One year done
and another is just beginning
I am ready
as I am
to be present, to be receptive, to appreciate,
marvel with wonder
the beauty of my life.
