PEARLS and WISDOM 3

Hey Blog land! Was reading some really great stuff today and passing some
of it along right now.
Hope you-all are doing well, in spite of the
weather, financial uncertainty or political unrest.
Bruce Springteen is quoted as saying, "A time comes when you need to stop
waiting for the man you want to become and start being the man you want to be."
George Bernard Shaw once said, "As long as I have want, I have a reason for
living. Satisfaction is death."
I believe that the key is to be aware and growing. I have many desires in
life, one of the greatest of these to grow up into the man I can be. It feels
like a ridiculous impossibility, but I did read recently that an hour of walking
a day, would in 5 years circumference the globe. I have set my self to a 5 year
goal of an hour a day, in hopes that this journey might move me more towards the
man I desire to be.
It makes sense to break down goals into bit size pieces. I once heard
someone say, "To eat an elephant, you must start one leg at a time." Growth is a
choice and requires action. No action = no growth.
I'll end today's thoughts with a new favorite quote.
Take away the cause, and the effect ceases."
- Miguel de Cervantes
Blessings today as we all aspire to be our very best; may we continue to
take steps to this cause.
