We can become so
consumed with trying to make it that we
never do. Unfortunately, before we
know it, we are seated by age, hardened
by experiences, having never realized
the full value of life. We want so
much. We try to do so much, it
seems as if nothing ever gets done.
The people of Ancient times knew that
quality not quantity makes life
precious. It is our individual
responsibility to set the standards for
quality in our lives. Do we have
peace in our lives? Do we have a
source of happiness in our lives?
Are we living up to the standards we set
for ourselves? Have we set
standards? Are we committed to
following our heart's desire? Are
we making our dreams come true? We
must decide for ourselves what we want
for ourselves while the sunshine of
youth is upon us. It is quality,
not quantity, that brings wisdom with
age.
