I saw this and thought it was worth sharing as something we should think about:
"Time is like a stream. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment in life."
There is a saying that Rick Pitino uses, "Live in the precious present".
I see so many people who are bitter over some injustice they suffered. They spend such very very very precious time in thoughts of the injustice. It is wasted water over the dam. I realize we all have different spiritual beliefs but one thing I think we all can agree on is this: no one gets out alive in their biological body. Every one will lose their looks, their bodies will wear out, their money, their property, they loved ones AND yes, their mortal life. The life that eats, breathes, feels sorrow, feels pain, laughs, and works.
I sincerely try every day that I am in my biological existence to focus on the positive. I see so many who focus on the negative. Maybe it is rewarding to them. But my rewards in life are my accomplishments how ever great or insignificant. Building a fence, the satisfaction of breeding a cow, petting my calves, my dog laying in my lap in the evening, talking to my son, fixing something good to eat or drinking a good shot of whiskey.
Life goes by like a stream of water, it never comes back!
