Chase the Sun

Every morning the sun comes up, and we come up with it. It begins on one side of the world and moves across the sky, setting as far away from where it started as it can. As we go about our day, we rarely take a moment to notice the sun moving through the sky, taking it’s journey from one place to another. But maybe we should be focusing on it more than we do. There is a lesson in it’s routine that all of us benefit from.

At the beginning of any new day of our lives, we begin in one place and no matter what we do or how the world turns on, we ultimately end up where we were destined to end up anyway. The lesson we can take away from this very simple fact, is that while we may not always end up where we want, we will always be where we where our destiny was taking us.

“Chase the Sun” is a saying that goes around at times and is generally taken to mean to follow your dreams. Something I think we all need to take a moment to think about is that while following our dreams is important, we also need to take some time and let our dreams follow us to our destination. Whether our dreams get there first and we have to go and get them, or we get where we need to be and let our dreams come later, we will always end up where we need to be. And as the sun accepts it’s fate, so should we. Life will find a way, and we should hold on to our life as something that while not always as predictable as the movement of the sun, but it will always end up the way it is meant to.
