The Empty Chair In Our Family Home.
What if one empty chair could speak louder than words?
I walked into my family home and noticed an empty chair. My father’s favorites seat. He had passed years ago, and yet the habit of looking for him stayed with me. I realized I had spent decades chasing achievements, social approval, and meaningless noise, forgetting to honor the moments, the people, and the small joys of life.
Intentional living is about presence. It’s about noticing the little things, the smile, the hug, the shared laughter, before they vanish. We measure success with trophies and numbers, but real richness is in living consciously, cherishing life while it happens.
You see this life, you have to Stop postponing what matters. Laugh more, hug longer, notice the little things. Life passes in moments, not milestones.
