Life has a beautiful rhythm and pace. Live it as it comes.
If you try to outrun life, you miss much of its beauty. Instead of racing ahead to cover more ground, see the treasures that are right here and now.
Rather than resenting or regretting what has already happened, focus your thoughts on the good you can do in this moment. There are plenty of opportunities when you choose to see them.
If you're constantly chasing life, the best of it eludes you. Decide to do a little less pursuing and a lot more enjoying.
You cannot do all of this week's breathing, or eating, or sleeping in just one day. There's plenty of time to get everything done if you'll just stop wasting so much effort on jumping ahead.
Seek to live in harmony with the rhythm and flow of life. Live life as it comes, and it will come to you in great abundance.

The Starfish Story

Original Story by:  Loren Eisley

One day a man was walking along the beach

when he noticed

a boy picking something up and gently

throwing it into the ocean.

Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”

The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean.

The surf is up and the tide is going out.  If I

don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”

“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there

are miles and miles of beach

and hundreds of starfish?

You can’t possibly make a difference!”

After listening politely, the boy bent down,

picked up another starfish,

and threw it back into the surf.

Then, smiling at the man, he said…”

I made a difference for that one.”
