Golden Saying /Lesson Learned • ~ Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow! ~ • OgMandino Read more: http://www.finestquotes.com/select_quote-category-Celebration-page-0.htm#ixzz1Q2Md7BJZ
