Quotation for the Week :.

Living Significantly
Howard Thurman

To postpone living significantly in the present is a serious blunder. Life does not stop being life because we are experiencing reverses or because we are young or because we are preparing ourselves vocationally or because certain important decisions that are in the hands of others have not been made. All of this is to give a purely quantitative character to life, to measure it exclusively in terms of the episode, the event, the circumstance. It is important to cultivate a "feeling for significance" in living and thus to give the quality of aliveness to the experience of living moment by moment. This seeks ever for fullness, keenness, and zest as the open sesame to experience life in the living of life. What is lived deeply is securely one's own and nothing can ever take it away - neither circumstance, nor age, nor even Death itself.
