To laugh a lot
"What is success in this world? I would say it consists of four simple things--to live a lot, to love a lot, to laugh a lot, and from it all, to learn a lot." ~Richard J. Needham
I hope that this will also be my measure of success throughout the coming year and in completing the program at LIOS. If I can strive for all of these things (strive maybe is not the right word, because I am doing these things now--perhaps it would be more appropriate to say when present to these things), then I am successful.
Not that there won't be times that challenge this idea. Hopefully, I will be able to reframe my experience by reflecting on these values. Did I laugh a lot? Did I love a lot? Really, did I learn? If learning and experiencing are the ultimate goals, then really where can you go wrong?
I'll end with something that came up during module and then in a book I read yesterday. "Reach for the next best thought. The next right step. You may not be able to see the end goal clearly, but if you keep choosing the next right step, you will get there eventually."
