Special

No one knows when their end comes
No one knows when tragedy will strike
No one knows what the future will bring

But we can make this life special
By being here while we are here
This is the secret
That now enriches my life

You can not stop the worries from coming
You can not stop the thoughts and feelings
What matters is how you deal with them

And the way to deal with them is to choose
What thoughts and feelings you focus on
And engage with

This is your freedom
Always
It can't be taken away until you die
Whatever means you have
Whatever the situation is

You can choose what you do

And in that choice
Lies our incredible power
In that choice
Lies our incredible freedom

Being aware of this choice
And choosing deliberately

Makes our life special

Author's Note
I learned something about myself these last few weeks. Even when I'm highly activated, fearful, scared, or just filled with aversion. I can still do things. I'm still capable of choosing what I do. That is the only thing you can ever do. Yoda said there is no try, but in a way try is the only thing there ever is. You can not simply choose to be successful in what you do. Failure is always possible. But you can choose what you do. That is our power. And that is our freedom.
