Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Hellen Keller, Louis Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Theresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein.
from the book 5,Where Will You Be Five Years From Now by Dan Zadra
This has been a great book for the family to read through. The best part is listening to the hopes and dreams, of what our little family would like to achieve, in 5 years ; )
Overall, it has become crystal clear to me, that I must make time to do the things that live inside of my soul. I need to be willing to make mistakes and take risks. No matter how crazy the ideas may seem. The hardest thing has been investing in myself. What is that??! Crazy thinking!
BUT, he needs this, she needs that. The kids come first.
I was speaking with my friend from Brooklyn (who tells it like it is) the other day. I said to him- I should just do this another day. He said to me (in his deepest* hardcore *Brooklyn* accent) Oh no doubt, I think you should do it another f* day, since that day is so promised to you!
Hmm... I dig that. Point taken!
Have a glorious weekend!
; )
14 ladlefuls of love:
I try to live every day to the fullest. You are only promised this very moment, the present. Therefore, follow your heart and dream big. You never know what you'll come up with.
Cheering you on, always.
Have a Conscious Friday!
One Love, Se'Lah
Love your friend's comment. Will you have him call me and remind me, too?
very good point.
Your friend is a smart guy. But I do take issue with the book's statement that all those accomplished people had the same amount of time as us. They were more focused, I think, as they didn't have the myriad distractions we face, nor did they have the same demands on their time. But yes, we all should be doing more to realise our dreams - every single day, even if it's just one thing a day. Baby steps lead to giant leaps! xoxox
Love your friend's response. The "f" bomb cuts glass like a diamond. A timely post for me. I feel I've been a little too passive about my life lately. : -)
Yes do it today, there is no other time that right now, this second. You go for it Christina with everything you have in you to express your beautiful self! XO! :)
ouch! that hit me right between the eyes today!

Wow Christina that book sounds really interesting. I'm going to check it out. What a great quote too.
great answer ~true friend!
i need a friend like that, including the hardcore brooklyn accent, please ;)
That is amazing advice. Thank goodness you shared it. I needed it today, too. I tend to be too much a someday girl.
Your power is in the present - right now, not tomorrow and not yesterday. But, isn't that refreshing to know? We have it all the time.. that tickles me inside.
i say the crazier the idea, the more you should embrace it!
