LIFE IS SHORT

                                         

“Forever is composed of nows.”     Emily Dickinson

We could die tomorrow, or today. Even if we do not and we end up living

60 more years, life is short. Really short. A month, a year may seem like

a long time, so do what you can to make it feel like a long time and get

things done. Make the most of it. Do not put off until tomorrow what you

can do today. I do not mean just go on vacation or work even harder. I

mean your point of view, your frame of mind, enjoy the moment. Seize

the day. Focus. Be kind. Help what you can help right in front of you.

Do what you can. Plan big. Work towards it but do excellent work.

Productive work. Not for the sake of being busy, or work for the sake

of work. Work that makes you feel good inside. Work at what interests

you. Take care of yourself. You are going to die, but do not hasten your

death by your own doing and failing to take care of yourself. Exercise.

Nutrition. Sleep. Eliminating unhealthy habits (alcohol) that you know

are proven to shorten life. Get busy living. Your life can end in a flash,

think about death often, take what is left of your life and live it properly.

Do the right thing. Live like you are dying because you are.

CHANGE

 

“If we wait for some other person to help us, or

some other time, change will never happen. You

are the one you have been waiting for.”

                        Barack Obama

“How long are you going to wait before you

demand the very best of yourself?”

                        Epictetus

You may think, feel, or say, well I am good, why do I need to change?

We can always improve. Believe in better. We can always learn. We

can always do better. Be stronger, faster, smarter, kinder, simpler.

Whatever fate brings our way, we can always change and improve on

how we go about our lives. Curiosity, learning, planning, practicing,

improving our skills. If we sit inside our comfort zones and do not get

outside of ourselves, pushing, learning, being productive, growing

then we just sit there and get stale like leftover pizza or bread that no

one wants and gets thrown out.

“No man steps in the same river twice. The river

is not the same and you are not the same.”

                        Heraclitus

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: PREDICTING THE FUTURE

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: PREDICTING THE FUTURE:                                                               “The best way to predict the future is to create it.”                         ...

PREDICTING THE FUTURE

                                                 

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”

                                        Abraham Lincoln

“We have a lot of troubles in our lives, most of which never happened.”

                                        Mark Twain

We can worry ourselves into a frenzy thinking about the future. Most of

these “worries” will never happen except in our imagination. It is good

to prepare and plan, but not at the expense of missing the present

and what is right in front of us because we are too busy or distracted

fretting over what may or may not happen in the future. By preparing,

planning, and setting in motion what steps we can control, especially

controlling our own mind and thoughts, we minimize the uncertainty of

the future. We create a great deal of what happens to us. We cannot

just sit back and wait for good fortune to fall on our plate. We need to make our own fortune. 

Shape our own destiny. Control what we can. Let go of what we cannot control. 

Hope for the best, plan  for the worst. Identify what we need to do and get to work.
