Napoleon:
"Imagination rules the world."
Einstein himself (!!):
Imagination is more important than knowledge."Are either you, or I, smarter than these men?
Do we know
so much more that we won�t ACT upon this wisdom?
You want POWER? How�s this for power? Arthur C.
Clarke:
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible
is to go
beyond them
into the impossible."
Marcus Aurelius... who knew a little something about
this:
"A man is what he thinks about all day long."
If you�re capable of grasping the immutable truth of that
statement,
why think about, ponder it, question it?
Why not just use it for 3 days, and see what happens?
There�s
a reason why we�re told that �experience is the best teacher."
Decide what you�d like your dominant thought to be,
then
focus on that thought for three days, refocusing EVERY time you�re
distracted.
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Someone gave this to me by photocopying the original, which he
pulled out of his wallet.
With wrinkles and tears, it had survived years of
being read and re-read.
I�ve read it more than a few times myself since then,
and hope you�ll get value out of repeated readings, as I
do.
The Station
by Robert J. Hastings
Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of
children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines & village
halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there our dreams will come true, and the pieces of
our lives will fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the
aisles, damning the minutes for loitering - waiting, waiting, waiting for the
station. "When we reach the station, that will be
it!" we cry. "When I�m
18." "When
I buy a new Benz!"
"When I put the last kid through
college." "When I have paid off the
mortgage!" "When I get a
promotion." "When I
reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!" Sooner or later we must realize there is no
station, no one place to arrive once & for all. The true joy of life is the
trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances
us.
"Relish the moment"
is a good motto, especially when coupled with
Psalm 118:24: "This is the day which the Lord
hath mad; we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn�t the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the
regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin
thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles & counting the miles. Instead,
climb more mountains,
eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more
rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less.
Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon
enough.
