When the day comes and your hours are numbered, what will you have to show. It is a question that has oft run through my mind in recent times.
When the hour is upon me and I ready myself for whatever is coming my way, will I be able to look in the mirror and meet my eye without fear or hesitation that a life spent striving was well spent.
Will I be able to reach into the very depths of my being and be pleased, satisfied even with what I find? Were my time to come tomorrow, I could not.
What I fear I would encounter would be a series of uncomfortable half-truths and opportunities neglected. Possibilities to widen and challenge my understanding forgone for the security of a comfortable life.
