Stuff I Learned - 13 Dec 2012

Sometimes we go through phases where it seems we might know someone, or know a friend of a friend or relative, who leave us suddenly. A stroke, a fall, or a long-lasting struggle with an illness.  No one is ever ready for something like this.

While it doesn't seem fair at times, the world doesn't owe us an eternity. However, we owe it to ourselves to make the most of our life and our lives to count for eternity. Since we never know when our time will come, we need to learn to just live for today.  As for me, even if it hasn't been a great day (I'm learning not to have bad days), I have another day to try again. That's another miracle of life.

Quotes:

"Go for it now. The future is promised to no one." - Wayne Dyer

"Every man dies. Not every man really lives." - Braveheart

"Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive." - Elbert Hubbard

"As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do." - Zachary Scott

"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean (maybe not the best example)



Go out and make it a great day!
