THIS IS SUPERB
some thoughts...  (See the end for thoughts about growing older!)
 
Just like a good marriage, or friendship--your boat is a work in progress...
  • It will require care and maintenance
  • It will scare you and delight you
  • It will bring you great joy and great frustration

You will only bond with her as you learn her eccentricities.

While you may choose your destinations, at times, forces beyond your control--the wind, the tide, a breakdown or even a previously undiscovered island may set your course--and that's o.k.

As you grow together and bond, you will number among the few who finds them self delighting in the journey, rather than the destination.

May you mostly have fair winds, and following seas... Remember, it's not the towering sails, but the unseen wind that moves the ship. In the end, we cannot direct the wind--but we can adjust the sails!

Some favorite toasts:

There is nothing that duct tape or roses can't fix

May your departures equal your landfalls

The Gods do not deduct from a mans allotted span, those days spent sailing!

Sail Fast, live slow!

 

 

Procrastination. Four words that virtually guarantee failure are "I'll do it later." 
Every time we say we'll do it later, that thing runs around in our head taking up space. That's too much stuff to carry around in our head taking up space. Practice doing it now. Do it now. Do it now!

Two of our most underdeveloped muscles are our choice muscles and decision muscles. Take action to exercise these muscles by making decisions and choices that serve to create the life you desire. If you don't, who will?

Do you do work that you love? Some of the happiest people I know are those who get up in the morning, get to do something they love and also get paid for it. What do you love to do? Start a part time business? Focus on what you love in your job? What could you get really get good at that you could use later to create the life you want?

Take risks and make mistakes and even fail. I've heard many people say "I'd like to do so and so, but I'm afraid I'll fail." So!?.  Failure is not the end, failure is simply feedback. Learn from any failure then take what you learn to increase your chances for success the next time. Hockey great Wayne Gretsky said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." So do your research, decide on the best plan of action and take your shot.

Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

 
Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.
 
If love isn't a game, why are there so many players?
 
Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
 
You can only go as far as you push!
 
Actions speak louder than words.
 
The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.
 
Don't let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff.
 
Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it.
 
A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.
 
Some people make the world special by just being in it.
 
Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us.
 
When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look

beside you and your best friend will be there.
 
True friendship never ends.
 
Friends are forever.
 
Good friends are like stars....you don't always see them, but you know they

are always there.
 
Don't frown, you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
 
What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the

person who made you cry?
 
Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.
 
Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.
 
Most people walk in and out of your life, but only friends leave footprints

in your heart.
 

About growing older...
T.S. Eliot:

I don't believe one grows older. I think that what happens early on in life is that at a certain age one stands still and stagnates.

Abraham Lincoln:

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Send this on to everyone special in your life, even the people who really

make you mad sometimes. Remember, every minute spent angry is sixty seconds

of happiness wasted.
