I Believe

‘Any time not invested with love is wasted.’

I don’t know who originally coined that phrase but the older I get the more I believe it to be true. Life is short and getting shorter, so I’m focused on making more of my remaining time richer by investing what I do with love.

With practice I’m getting better at it but I’ve still got a long way to go before I’m able to enrich every remaining thought, word, and action, of my life with love.

I may in fact never get there but I know that my life, quest, and adventure will be immeasurably improved by this focus–and hopefully the lives of others as well.
