Just a couple things to share that were shared with me first…
Item #1 was posted on Facebook by a friend that recently lost her brother to cancer. She explained, “This amazing credo, written by Mother Teresa of Calcutta, was found on my brother Clint’s desk, taped close — so that it was never far from his sight. He lived this.” I’m pretty sure we should all try to do the same:
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is a sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
Item #2 was shared by my favorite brother. Once upon a time he told me to watch No Country for Old Men. I HATED it. But then he hit a home run when he suggested I watch The Blacklist. I LOVE, LOVE the series — and James Spader is amazing!. (If you missed this one — you can catch up on Netflix.) So when he said I needed to listen to some podcast I’ll admit I didn’t jump right on it. Not a huge fan of podcasts, (I’m a visual person and sadly, and not the best listener on the planet) I balked before I gave in. You might do the same, but try a couple episodes of Serial anyway. You’ll thank me later.
