Doing a lot of reading and planning the last few days. Came across this marvelous quote from Jim Volz:

Let go of the past, look to the future, forgive, forget, and seize the joy that is available to you. Inventory your strengths and blessings, and be grateful for all you have accomplished.

I like that.  

We must prioritize those things that are truly important, and pursue creating and experiencing them fully.  
Actively and tirelessly pursue them, because our time here is so, so short.  

As Eugene Ionesco said, We haven’t the time to take our time.
