I was sent a great quote from my ole’ man this morning in an email that I think is worth republishing here. I just love things that inspire greatness. 

Opportunity knocked upon the door and Wonder said, “who’s there?”  Courage went out to let him in for he had many things to share.  Caution then asked him to explain the things he had for us.  Interest intuited the nature of the business to discuss.  Logic debated where and when that this could and should be done.  Decision then decided who and Knowledge emerged as the one.  Hope and Ambition added bits as they conferred apart, and Faith just turned her smiling face and said, “when do we start?”

Life is pretty busy right now. My slow hammering through The Life of George Washington by Washington Irving has almost completely halted as I’ve jumped on full board to prepare for the LSAT. Some of my other projects have also been put on hold as I try to focus on learned the tricks of taking this silly exam.  

I often wonder what drives me. I have like 10 things going on at once, none of which ever will be completely accomplished to my liking. But, I guess that’s life. Living life to the fullest means there is always more to be done and fulfillment comes in chasing and living and doing those things whose ends are always frayed just a bit and need more attention. 

Learning to have happiness in spite of the frayed ends means you are a success, regardless of outside influence. I love it!
