Remembering that I'll
be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make
the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations,
all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away
in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. [Steve Jobs]
It’s kind of a grim quote. Sorry, but it speaks to the point
for me. I can spend hours, days, weeks, months, years, a lifetime worrying if I
should or shouldn’t DO “x” and wonder forever what that will “mean” in the
grand scheme…
It is exhausting. It is useless. It is without merit.
And it is human. Ahhhhhhh… yes!! I am human BEing human.
So go ahead. Fall
down. The world looks different from the ground. [Oprah
Winfrey]
What I know is true is that we ALL fall down. Sometimes.
Oftentimes, even. And it is The Next Right Thing for us to get up again. But
still, I like what Oprah is saying here. Things DO look different from where we
are when we’ve fallen down. And sometimes the best thing is to look awhile from
those downed places.
Jump, and you will
find out how to unfold your wings as you fall. [Ray
Bradbury]
You’ve got to BE willing…
