Some Inspiration

My mother bought me the book, "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman. I usually pull this out when I need a pick me up or a motivational reading to get the day going. Here are two excerpts. It's a good message. I think we should repeat the first one every day!

"LIVE like you were dying"
It's simple. The best things always are. I hope it becomes your prayer, your motto, your mantra. I hope it becomes a part of you. Every day.


We're All Terminal.
Some of us are just lucky enough to know it.

Life is a spiritual journey.
And sometimes all you have to do is show up
and have a little faith that something
completely amazing is possible any day.

And every now and then,
right when you least expect it,
something amazing does happen.

And you are no more in control
than a feather is of the wind.
All you know is that the force moving you is so strong
that you just hang on in wonder.

There is nothing but the moment
and the sense of dancing with angels.

So ALIVE...
