How to Be Here: A Guide to Creating a Life Worth Living

Decide now that you will not spend your precious energy speculating about someone else’s life and how it compares with yours.

If you focus on who you aren’t, and what you don’t have, or where you haven’t been, or skills or talents or tools or resources you’re convinced aren’t yours, precious energy will slip through your fingers that you could use to do something with that blinking line.

How are you going to respond to this life you have been given? What are you going to do with it? What are you going to make here?

We rob ourselves of immeasurable joy when we compare what we do know about ourselves with what we don’t know about someone else.
