An Opportunity

Posted on August 23, 2014 by russtowne

I once read a quote that I think went something like this:

“For those with a heart, life is a tragedy, but for those with a brain, life is a comedy.”

I believe for those with both a heart and a brain life is an opportunity to make a difference.

With Love,
Russ

Heart and brain together help us navigate the highs and lows of life … And allow creativity to unfold 🙂

  Thank you for your insights, Val. I agree, and believe they help us to help others experience new highs and learn the gifts and lessons from the lows.

  I’m not sure how to reply to this comment, my friend. I’ve known very few people who gave up.

    I’m glad Russ, that was just a play on words and TV.
