Morbid thought or inspirational thought?
Inspirational thought!
Why?
Because when we realize that tomorrow is not guaranteed, perhaps we will put more focus on today.
Looks good on paper, but is incredibly elusive. The whole “live in the moment” thing is very challenging to do.
Have you ever tried it? I mean, day after day, after day. Month after month, after month….
“To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know”. — jeff’s friend
Said another way: “Common sense needs to be common practice”. – jeff noel
Otherwise, it’s like we don’t even know what common sense is.
Yes, this is painful to admit. Yes, it’s not easy to apply common sense. Yes, our lives will become better (not perfect) if we apply more common sense to our lives. Yes, it’s completely up to us. Always has been. Always will be. Carpe diem!
We all look for shortcuts in our day to day living. Shortcuts at home. Shortcuts at work. Shortcuts while driving.
Why?
Because shortcuts save time. And sometimes, money. Who doesn’t want that?
Even bloggers look for shortcuts. Like writing a brief post about shortcuts, to save time. 🙂
If you knew you could not fail, what would you do differently? Know what I’ve learned in 50 years? All these quotes, cliches, sayings, parables, etc. – they only work if you do.
“No rules for success will work if you don’t”.
“Everything takes longer than we think it will, or longer than we want it to”.
“If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough”.
Quote me. Love me. Hate me. It doesn’t matter. What matters is what you do. Got it?
For anyone thinking it’s more sophisticated than this, it ain’t. Carpe diem!
Married in June 1983, we finally took our honeymoon in August 1984. We rode our bicycles from the Pacific Ocean to Grand Coulee Dam.
Two main portions of the trip:
It was the trip of a lifetime. Not your typical honeymoon, eh?
We traveled 600 miles in 17 days, and spent less than $200.
Happy Saturday everyone.
