A Good Life

“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.”

– Henri J.M. Nouwen

My definition of “Life’s Work:” “A lifelong quest to build something for others that expresses who you are” -via Patrick O’Shaughnessy

We do not live by our memory; we make use of it to live. Record only what can help you to conceive or to execute, which can be assimilated into your soul, correspond to your objectives, vivify your inspiration, and bolster your work. As for the rest, consign it to oblivion.
