Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.
—John Lennon.
Jim Rohn in one of his famous speech went onto say,”
Something my parent taught me that they practiced all their life. Now I practice.
Don’t Miss Anything.
Don’t miss the game.
Don’t miss the concert.
Don’t miss the performance
Don’t miss the show
Don’t miss the conversation.
Don’t miss the sermon.
Don’t miss the class.
Don’t. Miss. Anything.
Go.
Look.
See.
Learn.
Try.
Taste.
(With gesture of hands, suggests)
Let that Flavor of life be part of your lifestyle.
Elton John sings, “She lived her life like a candle in the wind, never knowing who to cling to, when the rain set in.”
What if you missed that?
See, that wouldn’t be good.
George Harrison used to sing before he died, “If not for you, the winter would hold no spring. Couldn’t hear a robin sing. I just wouldn’t have a clue if not for you.”
Again with meaningful gesture of hands re-iterates,
Go Taste.
Go Listen.
Go Enjoy.”
See, one thing is for certain.
Nobody is ever, never prepared for what is going to happen in our lives far into the future.
But the only guarantee that renders a glimmer of healthy hope, that this one time opportunity ‘life’ would eventually fold in a good enough episode is to actually plant, nurture and water the seeds of wisdom as it progresses.
Go explore Jim. He was the harbinger of a laying out his unique template for a practical, pragmatic and most importantly a good-enough life.
Namaste.
