Jack London quote
"...stifled by dry rot.."
Ashes or Dust?
“I would rather be ashes than dust. I would rather that my spark should burn into a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent plant. The proper function of man (and woman) is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”
Meteor or Speck?
Am I a meteor or a tiny speck of light? I would have to say a tiny light at the moment. Do I merely exist or do I make each day count?
I Shall Use My Time Wisely
I know I don't use my time wisely and have wasted too many days lately. Again I shall rise to the task of a daily blog. It has been years since I have written on a daily basis. So I shall see if I can do it now. I am a little rusty so bear with me. It's shameful to waste one glorious day that God has granted me. Recently right before a friend died she said she had so much more she wanted to accomplish. It made me think and be ashamed how much time I have wasted on unimportant tasks or meaningless dribble. I commission myself to do more, achieve more, and appreciate more every moment.
