hurtling through life ...

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want." —Margaret Young

Yes, true. I need to be reminded of this all the time and to find the courage to live this way.

Recent events as any reminder, I need to rise up and overcome like now.

Me too! Me too!

It is interesting (to me) that a month and a half ago I felt much more in sync with this quote than I do today. Though today (because of your comment) it has provoked thought, which is really the reason I keep these kinds of quotes around. : ) To be reminded.
