Time to think.....

Thoughts to ponder.........

One of the things I keep learning is that the secret of being happy is doing things for other people.

The purpose of life is not to be happy – but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.

The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed

You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.

That first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took the easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to take a deep breath and begin climbing again.
