Life's Path

Robert Kennedy observed, “Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.” 

What we focus on steers our life. If we choose the path of living in the darkness of regret that become the road we tread.  If, on the other hand, we elect of glean lessons from our shortcomings we gain the mantle of wisdom.

Further, as Richard Bach wrote, “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.”

Search for what we can become, reach outward but do not dwell what has happened in the past. Learn. Grow. Become.

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?

Speech

  “To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.”     John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent.  Life teaches many lessons.  Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied.  Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
