Learning from others...

Blog quote #1294... 

"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable, for their apparent disinclination to do so." -Douglas Adams-

To do: Be like a sponge, and soak it all in. Use the opportunity, to always learn from others experiences. 

Someone once stated that we don't have enough time on earth to make all the mistakes, but we certainly can observe and take heed, from others missteps. We'd be wise to do so...

Pain and problems are needed- in order to improve and grow

Blog quote #1293... 

"Life is a series of experiences, each of which make is bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built-to develop character, and we must learn-that the setbacks and grieves which we endure-help us in our marching onward." -Henry Ford-

A long articulate statement, that sums up the need for problems and defeats that come our way. It's natures way-of telling us to learn and grow, from the miscues and bad things that happen. To come back sharper and stronger. It's how we evolve and get better, as people. 

Well said, oh creator of the automobile!

Just be YOU...

Blog quote #1292... 

"The easiest thing to be in the world- is you. The most difficult thing to be- is what other people want you to be. Don't allow them, to put you in that position." -Leo Buscaglia-

If you've never read any books from Leo, we suggest you do. He is all about one thing LOVE. It's thee most important thing that exists. 

In this statement, Leo is simply advising us to be who WE were born to be--US. Not an imitation of another. Not a copy or wanna be that our parents or friends would like us to be. Just be natural. Be YOU. And happiness and peace will come.

Writing the story-- of OUR LIVES...

Blog quote #1291... 

"Remember, that people are only guests in your story, the same way that you are only guests in their story. So make the chapters worth reading." -Lauren Klarfeld-

Unlike book authors, in life, we only get one chance to write our book. Let's take full advantage, by making it not a' best seller,' but a 'best-liver.'  

We own the pen and pencils to our personal edition. Create something masterful, worth sharing and discussing...

What the heck are we doing/ accomplishing,anyway?

Blog quote #1290... 

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in life, that don't really matter." -Francis Chan-

What a superb quote to get the mind thinking. First, of what is truly getting  accomplished during the day. Second, is it significant, in the big picture of life? 

Let's take a look at the former-on activity versus production question. That's a scale that needs to be properly balanced, and often. Next, the latter, to say to self, 'OK  if I am getting things done- are they things that matter, stuff that is impactful to other humans, and to the world?'  

This, a good message to print off and ponder today, and going forward. Not one to peruse, and discard immediately. Thanks Francis!
