Soren Kierkegaard

It is quite true what Philosophy says: that Life must be understood backwards. But that makes one forget the other saying: that it must be lived—forwards. The more one ponders this, the more it comes to mean that life in the temporal existence never becomes quite intelligible, precisely because at no moment can I find complete quiet to take the backward- looking position.

seizing moments

A very old man was heard advising a young man --
"there is but one life to live, so dream big
pray to God to help u in fulfilling those dreams
make attempts to give wings to your dreams
Don't allow failure to limit u
smile at the storm even at the darkest moment, the silver lining will follow
remember God never deserts you , He knows u better than u yourself
in mundane dull moments, be positive
do the least task knowing he watches u
love life and live in peace with yourself and others
discipline your body and mind
Remember that sickness is part of life so pray for strength when u or your near ones suffer
expect miracles
stop worrying , commit your anxieties to the Lord
lead a a disciplined life
time menagemnet is important
spend time with the children and family for these precious moments don't come back
teach them fear of the Lord
be quick to listen and slow to speak
let your yes be yes and no be no
be wise like serpents and gentle as doves
do your best to help the poor
above all time never turns back so seize your moments"
