"The message I wish to convey is, please, live each day as if it is your entire life. If you start something today, finish it today; tomorrow is another world. Live life positively." - Sakai Yusai, Daigyoman Ajari (Saintly Master of Higher Practice), Monastery of Mt. Hiei, Kyoto, Japan
I totally agree with this. In fact, it's kind of an overkill for me. I sometimes wonder if I have OCD because I can't move on to a second thing unless I finish the first thing. Causes me anxiety to leave things hanging. PS I laughed at your cauliflower comment! :)
Rain, it is a different way of thinking for me: what would it be like if I finished, in that day (at least mentally) what I started? In a way, every day is our whole life as tomorrow is not promised us.
Yes, you may have gathered I do not like cauliflower...
Comments are welcome (and necessary, for good conversation). If you could take the time to be kind and not practice profanity, it would be appreciated. Thanks for posting!
thank you. I can't explain how timely and encouraging this post is to me today. I have tears in my eyes...
ReplyDeleteSTxAR, you are quite welcome. Sometimes I get promptings to post things that I do not fully understand, but I am sure that there is a reason for them.
