To spend your time planning for life means you are using up your time for living. Lord, I choose to make the best of right now, to be joyful right now, and to live with no regrets.
Monday, August 30, 2004 Lessons of life
Every situation is a lesson to be learned. From the most mundane chores to the most complex projects, life is always ready to teach you something.
Life is ready to teach when you are willing to learn. And the more you learn from what life offers, the better life becomes.
The lessons are usually not all that obvious. Yet they are there if you will think to take a look. The lessons are there in every moment, in every dilemma, in every frustration and every joy. They are there in every sadness, every victory, every discomfort and every pleasure.
Each lesson you learn paves the way for a new and even more valuable one. Each lesson you ignore keeps coming back, again and again.
One way or another, life will teach you its lessons. When you’re a willing student, those lessons are pure gold.

I love what you say, Jamario! Indeed, "the lessons are not all that obvious." And indeed, though they can be like panning for "gold," with an open mind and a willing heart, they become easier and easier to find.
