The document discusses the transient nature of life and possessions. It shares a short story about a man who dies and meets God, who is carrying a suitcase of the man's belongings. However, when the man opens the suitcase, he finds it is empty, as his memories, talents, friends, and even his body did not truly belong to him. The only thing that is his is the present moment. The document encourages living in the present and finding happiness from within rather than through relationships, jobs, or money, as material things cannot be taken when one passes. It emphasizes enjoying the time that is ours while we have it in this life.

1. Why Now?
May 9, 2020
You came as a surprise, and life has been many
surprises, AND with more to come. We are all unexpected guests, uninvited to be here to see
who we are amidst a continuing stream of experiences, some we’d rather have avoided, some
to be treasured, and wonderful. Maybe it’s all part of a ‘plan’ to prepare you for the next
dimension that all will be invited to. Take time to go inside and see the real you. A little story:
‘’A man died, when he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand. God
said: Alright son it’s time to go. Surprised the man responded; Now? So soon? I had a lot of
plans…I’m sorry, but it’s time to go. What do you have in that suitcase the man asked? God
answered: your belongings. My belongings? You mean my things, my
clothes, my money. God answered - those things were not yours the
belonged to the earth. Is it my memories, the man asked? God
answered: those never belonged to you they belonged to time. Is it
my talents? God answered: those were never yours they belonged to
the circumstances. Is it my friends and family? God answered: I’m
sorry they were never yours, they belonged to the path.
Is it my wife and son? God answered: they were never yours they
belonged to your heart. Is it my
body? God answered: that was
never yours if belonged to the
dust. Is it my soul? God
answered: No that is mine. Full of
fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just
to find the suitcase was empty. With a tear coming down
his cheek the man said: I never had anything?? God
answered: that is correct, every moment you lived were
only yours.’’
Life is just a moment. A moment that belongs to you. For
this reason enjoy the time you have while you have it. Don’t let anything that you think you own
stop you from doing so. Live now…live your life. Don’t forget to be happy, that is the only thing
that matters. Material things and everything else that you fought for stays here. YOU CAN’T
TAKE ANYTHING It is only the moment that belongs to you. For this reason enjoy this time
while you have it.
Happiness starts with you. Not your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but
with you. There is no end, and the beginning hasn’t started…not just yet. Just stay in the
moment it’s the gold you seek…and always there. No need to keep seeking. Be the finder.
