Living Every Moment

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognised by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of being a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.  I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live.  I rejoice in life for its own sake.  Life is no ' brief candle' to me.  It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

A powerful quote for a Sunday morning!

George Bernard Shaw is reminding me to live every minute of my life... to be fully engaged in all activities in my life rather than be an observer of my life.

Life is special... the activities and functions we carry out build the tapestry of how our life turns out. 

We have a choice: we can either engage in activities with joy, enthusiasm and fully live life... or we can put things off or wait for others to do it all for us.

If we continue to put things off, if we continue to have the attitude "one day I will get around to doing something but right now all I want to do is not think about it or not do anything"... life will pass us by!

At times, we can feel very overloaded with all the things we want or need to do... but remember, life is short (relatively speaking)... and it is ours to experience and to create the way we want it to go.

I want to live my life and fully as I can... how about you?
