Posted: 6/30/2008 8:59:24 PM | My Purpose Driven Life's Legacy:
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better,
Whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson | |

To come in with nothing, leave with nothing, and be the very best that I can be in between...
Amen, brother.....couldn't have put it better myself. Here's another one I like, and I'm sure I'm not quoting it correctly, but you get the gist:
When you're born, you're crying and everyone else is smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're smiling and everyone else is crying. | |

It's not easy sometimes because we all feel that OUR reason for doing or saying something is justifiable. But I've found all too often that if I ask myself whether I'd like it said/done to me,,,, the answer is all too frequently NO.  | |

If you eat out of it, wash it
If open it, close it.
If you empty it, fill it up.
If you turn it on, turn it off.
If you use it, put it back where it came from.
If it howls, feed it.
If it cries, Love it! | |

If you eat out of it, wash it
(What if it's styrofoam?)
If open it, close it.
(Particularly good advice on Christmas Eve. Always remember to act surprised when you reopen the presents.)
If you empty it, fill it up.
(Please don't encourage an alcoholic. That makes you an "enabler".)
If you turn it on, turn it off.
(Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one to suffer from Ironstillonphobia. It's the fear of not sure you had left the iron on after you left the house in the morning and that you will come home later to smoldering ashes.)
If you use it, put it back where it came from.
(Yes, it's called the I'm-only-going-to-use-it-one-time-and-I'm-too-cheap-to-buy-it-so-I'm-bringing-it-back-and-pretend-there's-something-wrong-with -it-for-a-full-refund Golden rule.
If it howls, feed it.
(If it howls, I say you're the next meal. Run!)
If it cries, Love it!"
(If it cries and I STILL love it, it better be tears of joy. Otherwise, I'd prefer, "If it laughs, Love it!") | |
