“So choose to ever ask yourself: What is the thing that gets you up every morning? What is the one thing that keeps you going every day of every month of every year? And know that the proper answer to this extremely important query has nothing at all to do with money or achievement or pleasure or comfort or fame or success. No, the one and only thing that can truly & steadfastly inspire you to keep on living and keep on living well – is a truth in two parts; 01) that your days on this earth are few and steadily dwindling, and 02) that you are here to Do Great Good with the few fleeting moments you have remaining. Every day you are one day closer to passing onward into the Void, which means that every day you are one day closer to no longer being able to extend a kind smile to another suffering in sadness, or a warm greeting to a nervous stranger, or a gentle giving to someone in need, or an offer of forgiveness to an enemy who has transgressed. These are the things that matter, my Friends – the only things that matter. So remember them all today – and let them be the sole source of your moving ever forward.” ~ inspired by James A. Murphy
