What’s the most important minute in life? I think it’s the next one. There is nothing we can do about the past, and we have limited influence over the hours and days to come. But the next minute—-minute after minute after minute—-is always full of possibility. Are there opportunities to be on your own side, bring caring to your pain, accept yourself, and enjoy what you can? Is there something you could heal, something you could learn? Minute by minute, step by step, strength after strength, you can always grow more of the good inside yourself. For your own sake, and the sake of others as well.

Hurray for learning to live our values. It’s empowering.

…I simply try to make the most of the moments that I’m given.
Yes. 🙂
Totally true….all of this! Minute by minute is what we have and this is the best way! The hustle and bustle of life needs to be simplified.

I need to carry these words with me.

I never thought of it this way, but you are right! After all, each moment is kind of borrowed time…

Carpe diem!!!

After so many years of compromise, living my values feels pretty wonderful.

the older we get, the more each minute becomes more precious
Yes. 🙂
Each moment is a gift for really all we have is this second.

Never looked at it this way before but isn’t that the truth.

Well said and wise.

Amen! I have to try that. Have a great weekend.
