He explained that he wanted to live every day w/ righteous intentions and selfless conduct. One day at a time.<BR/><BR/>In other words, don't look too far ahead or too far behind focusing on opportunities missed or goals to pursue. Live every day well. As far as your schedule allows, worry only about the hour and the day that you are in. <BR/><BR/>And if you mess it up, like I do at least four/five times a week, reboot the next morning and live THAT day well. As Father Joe tells the kids who've been abandoned, abused, infected, etc., Let's use this moment - the moment we are in and the only moment we are guaranteed - to build some good momentum. Then, if we're lucky to get another moment, let's use it the same way. Before you know it, kids are hopping and skipping in joyful momentum.<BR/><BR/>Easier said than done, I know, but don't regret the past or fret over the future. Be. Here. Now. Own the moment you're in.<BR/><BR/>And for the record, I'm 46 and I groan and the prospect of crossing the big 5-0. By then maybe 50 will be the new 30.Greg Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698705898022930993noreply@blogger.com
