    Food for thought Making life our own

    "Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways."
    -- Stephen Vincent Benet


    What's needed for a new relationship with time and life?

    Intention -- Get really clear about what you want.

    Desire -- How much do you want something new for yourself? Know your motivation. Desire brings the energy for change.

    Belief and/or willingness to trust you can have what you want. If belief is lacking, can you believe in the possibility that you can find a new way of living?

    Perseverance, discipline -- It takes time and effort to change attitudes and habits. We can't expect a new life overnight.

    Acceptance, both of what's happening now and of who we are. Until we honestly and openly accept our present situation, we cannot change it.

    A willingness to try something new.


    "It is so easy to waste our lives: our days, our hours, our minutes. ... It is so easy to exist instead of live. Unless you know there is a clock ticking. So many of us changed our lives when we heard a biological clock and decided to have kids. But that sound is a murmur compared to the tolling of mortality."
    -- Anna Quindlen
