LIVE LIFE…

Sometimes, we get so caught up in the pressures of daily life that we lose all sense of direction and purpose. It begins to seem as if we are lurching from one crisis to the next or as if the best we can hope for is an ability to keep our heads above water. If you are tempted to nod in profound agreement with all that I have just said, please think again!! For one thing, we all need to keep our head still while we are trying to float and, for another, the observations above describe our past, and not our future. So LIVE LIFE and LET OTHERS LIVE…:)

In the words of Gibran:

In the words of Gibran:

“Yesterday I was carefree, sharing with the shepherds all the joy of life; eating, playing, working, singing, and dancing together to the music of the heart’s truth. Today I find myself among the people like a frightened lamb among the wolves. As I walk in the roads, they gaze at me …and as I steal through the park I see frowning faces all about me…Where are the spacious plains, the singing brooks, the pure breeze, the closeness of Nature?

A Looser AND A Winner

“A loser doesn’t know what he’ll do if he loses, but talks about what he’ll do if he wins,

AND

a winner doesn’t talk about what he’ll do if he wins, but knows what he’ll do if he loses.”

~ Eric Berne
