Welcome back to another episode of Well & Worthy Life. I'm changing gears to share with you a book I ran across recently. It's a small book my mother gave me filled with a beautiful message about living life to the fullest. As I read it again I thought it would speak to each of you in some way. Especially this time of the year when we're coming up on the new year and taking time to reflect.
The name of the book is, "Dance While You Can" by Lance Wubbels.
It begins with this quote, "I was dying to finish high school and start college. And then I was dying to finish college and start working. And then I was dying to marry and have children. And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could get back to my career. And then I was dying to retire. And now I am dying and suddenly I forgot to live." - Author unknown.
The book starts out saying, "my heart aches when I read that someone forgot to live. Yet I fear the feeling they express is all too common for many people today. Caught up in the business of living we rarely have time to take a close look and consider our personal lives.
The urgent needs of the moment surround us and scream for our constant attention. We are so caught up in the race to keep up that we tend to lose track of where we really are with our lives and who we are becoming. For some people, the cost is devastating."
What would living life to the fullest look like for you? Let this episode inspire and ignite you. Notice the way it stirs your soul.
