Synopsis

Everywhere you turn, you see people on cell phones, laptops and other technology. People rarely look up to actually talk to one another. Sadly, many family dinners are spent answering calls and texting rather than sharing stories and building memories. Beyond the virtual technology of the modern world, real life passes many of us by. Beyond this hectic, fast-paced, demanding life, there is a place and time where we can pause, find meaning, get clarity, experience joy and rediscover experiences that illuminate our life. I call these our magical moments...Come, let me take you there...

Well-respected polymath, astronomer, physician, philosopher, and poet Omar Khayyam advises, “Be happy for this moment, this moment is your life....”

If you wanted to learn to cook, you could attend a cooking class. What about becoming a doctor? Medical school, right? Or even a lawyer? I would bet law school might be on your mind. But what if you wanted to live life to its fullest and build an amazingly meaningful and purpose-driven life? You know, one that is grounded in the celebration of exciting moments on a daily basis. Life offers us great opportunities to smile, allows our hearts to sing, and projects the warmth we feel in our souls. The education of life comes through the moments encompassing our lives.

There is no class, school, or education program to build the perfect life. But there is no doubt in my mind that any great life consists of taking the enormous amount of magical moments and celebrating them in a thoughtful and appreciative manner. Life is filled with time, and time is filled with moments. These moments are like beautiful snowflakes falling from the sky, each one unique and exceptional. Every moment both valued and respected achieves a wonderful celebration of time. Time moves fast and can be lost. But it can also be celebrated, and this book will help you accomplish just that. But before we dive into how to create and cherish these moments, let’s take time to reflect and evaluate on our lives to determine what may be hindering our ability to truly stop and smell the roses.

Our Hectic, Fast-Paced, Demanding Lives

We live in a hectic and fast-paced world. Some days we barely have time to catch our breath, let alone take a moment to appreciate or even notice the exceptional moments in our lives. In modern society, we are over stimulated and overworked. A recent study of twenty-five hundred American workers conducted by CareerBuilder.com found that 77 percent feel burned-out at their jobs. The truth is many of us long for something more meaningful. The challenge is that we have difficulty finding time, even just a moment, to discover what that means individually.

Time passes―days into months, months into years, years into decades, and decades into a lifetime. The moments of our lives tend to be lost in a whirlwind of daily routines, to-do lists, and jam-packed schedules. Our spirits are left empty because our minds are constantly distracted. We are too busy to appreciate and acknowledge the magic and special moments in our lives while they happen because we are constantly focused on the next task.

At the end of our lives, too many of us reflect back and regret the times we let the special moments go uncelebrated and unappreciated.
Starting right now, your life can be different. Beyond our hectic, fast-paced, demanding world, there is a place and time where we can pause, find meaning, get clarity, experience joy, and reconnect to your real life. I call these our magical moments.

There is magic in all of our experiences. It is in those moments that we receive the lessons, growth, and gifts that fulfill our lives. Sometimes we don’t always appreciate the significance of a moment until after it happens. If we pause to truly experience those moments while they are happening, we can fully realize that with both the joys and challenges in life there is a message, a gift, and a lesson to be learned. Whether we know it or not, the meanings we give those magical moments shape our lives.

Come; let me show you where to find them.

Reflect

· When was the last time you took a moment to pause and find meaning in your life?
· Recall a very special moment in your life; what lessons did you learn in that moment?
· Recall the last time you shared a joyful moment with someone you love―your child, your parent, a significant other...
· When was the last time you felt complete peace and calm?
· When was the last time you felt truly loved?
· When was the last time you felt truly happy?
· How do you appreciate your life experiences and the way they shaped who you are today?
