TODAY'S QUOTE:
"More men have become great through practice than by nature."... Democritus
This quote validates the ole' maxim "practice makes perfect"... and the perfecting is (or should be) an ongoing lifetime venture... or maybe even "adventure" if we are truly blessed. Most of the people who truly fascinate me, used to be very different from the who they are nowadays. Change empowers and there is nothing quite as interesting as a newly empowered human being with a sacred mission.
To be wrong is easy enough; any fool can do it without much effort and deny it all later without much guilt. But to truly alter an ego bent on self-destruction takes forethought and a steely determination. Reinventing until our soul finds peace can take years, but perfecting that creation brings a gentle grace to any wisdom that has such a painful birth. The walking wounded who struggle until they learn to survive and grasp tightly to their right to thrive are always worthy of careful attention.
One life is all we possess; for pride or shame that is all we can truly own... one lifetime to utilize or waste. Most of us squander more than we ought, but seeing our mistakes and correcting them the best we are able makes us more interesting than most of the "reality" shows so many of us watch.
Do your best to never be satisfied to mostly watch when even kinda living is so much richer. Fix the broken things, discard what cannot be repaired and polish whatever is written in stone. Think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
Follow this link to a flash movie worth contemplating. Enjoy... I did!!!
