"We have defined holiness through what we separate ourselves from rather than what we give ourselves to. I am convinced the great tragedy is not the sins we commit, but the life we fail to live." - Erwin McManus, Seizing Your Divine Moment
I often think of how we are viewed by others based on so little of who we fully are. I mean, other people ever only see a fraction of who we are. I hope that most of the time I leave others with a positive and uplifting flavor, but some days it's difficult.
I guess that sort of ties in with your quote. I hope that I can fully appreciate the adventures of my life. I try to stop, think, and recognize my blessings. I also try to keep in mind that my entire life, which seems so massive to me, is really leaving only a small smudge on most of the people I come in contact with each day - so, I try to make it a kind and joyful smudge.
Sorry if I am making little sense. So much bad news lately is leaving me a little dazed.

Perhaps it is time for us to stop having stories that begin with,"Last night on television..." and start actually living our lives.

that's probably more profound than you intended. thanks for that.
