-- Quote of the Day --  “Some walk away from their dreams  afraid they might fail or worse yet,  afraid they might succeed.” ~ unkown  -- In The Moment  --  My friends and I have had a lot of discussions over the years about how this moment is our "golden" moment - those "golden years" of yonder do not exist and may never exist for all we know. We talk about how coming back to the moment helps us realize how many opportunities there are in one single day. It makes you more aware to things that were always there, only now you notice a few more of them. We also find that by changing our thinking to living this moment also helps us to be more conscious of the impact that we are having in each moment.

If you can wait and not be tired of waiting, Or being lied about - don’t deal in lies, Or being hated – don’t give way to hating. If you can dream and not make dreams your master, If you can think and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with triumph and disaster, And trust those two impostors just the same, If you can bear to hear that you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves, to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken. If you can make on heap of all your winnings, And risk it on one turn or pitch or toss, And lose – and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss, If you can forget your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they ha...
