Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

2026

As the 7th decade of my life approaches, I think a lot about the Universe’s Natural Law of Impermanence.

Everything changes.

Therefore, this is my life now. I need to be where my feet are, not wrapped up in my head – wasting precious time and energy on negative thoughts.

To be emotionally, spiritually and mentally aware of every moment and how I live it.

Myrtle Reed’s quote seems to sum this up nicely for me:

Impermanence is the very essence of joy – the drop of bitterness that enable one to perceive the sweet.
