[blockquote source=”Henry David Thoreau”]“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”[/blockquote]

My darlings, what do you see when you look forward towards your path?

Do you see the majesty of these wide open spaces, and the miracles that lie ahead?

Does the challenge of this winding trail cause your hear to come alive? Do you “launch yourself upon every wave, and find eternity in every moment?”

Or, do you wince at those obstacles instead?

This is not a ‘shrink to fit’ life, my darlings. Blink once, and it will soon be gone. And, these choices but a faded memory – leaving only the imprint of regret upon your heart.

So, just for today, my darlings…why not step boldly onto this path of discovery, and cherish this ‘story that has yet to be told’? Find the magic within your every moment, and leave worry at another’s door.

Because, I promise you, my dearest darlings, this precious human life is very much worth the journey.

From His Holiness, the Dalai Lama;

“Today I am fortunate to have woken up.
I am alive, I have a precious human life.
I am not going to waste it.

Indeed, my loves ~ happiness is a state of being, when living is our choice.
