a life lesson


First, I was dying to turn thirteen and be a teenager.
Then I was dying to finish high school and start university.
And then I was dying to finish university and start working.
Then I was dying to marry and have kids.
And then I was dying for my kids to grow up and leave home.
And then I was dying to retire and live in Byron Bay.
And now I am dying ... and suddenly I realised that I forgot to live.

Don't let this be the story of your life.
Make the most of every NOW.

what motivates YOU?


The Speedy Rabbit [a tale by Aesop]

A dog spotted a rabbit and started chasing him, but the rabbit got away.
Seeing this, a goat stopped to gloat. “Too fast for you, wasn’t he?” he sneered. “Why are you surprised?” said the dog. “I was chasing him for fun; he was running for his life.”

Moral of the story = Your performance depends on your motivation.

Better to die standing than to live on your knees.

why moments matter


Someone woke up today.
Someone woke up today and kissed someone they love on the forehead.
Someone woke up today and kissed someone they love on the forehead.

Someone woke up today and kissed someone they love on the forehead, and before they left they said "I love you. Have a good day. I'll speak to you later."

Someone woke up today and kissed someone they love on the forehead, and before they left they said "I love you. Have a good day. I'll speak to you later... I love you." And they replied "I love you." And they kissed them goodbye. For the very last time.

Someone woke up today.
But they won't wake up tomorrow.
