For the New Year

The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next
 year, the next day, the next hour
are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a
 new leaf every hour
if you choose.

Arnold Bennett

A vision of life

posted Oct 10, 2008 7:40 AM by Unknown user   [ updated Nov 3, 2009 1:17 PM by Matthew Stubbs ]

Begin today with the image, picture, or paradigm of the end of your life as your frame of reference or the criterion by which everything else is examined. By keeping that end clearly in mind, you can make certain that whatever you do on any particular day does not violate the criteria you have defined as supremely important, and that each day of your life contributes in a meaningful way to the vision you have of your life as a whole.
