King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

What is Truely Important in Life

Below are 10 reminders I picked up from a book by Dr Denis Waitley, Safari to the Soul.

1. Simplify our lives. Stop collecting. Start celebrating for no apparent reason.
2. Gather memories instead of Memorabilia.
3. Do some genealogy about our family ancestors. What were their lives like? What legacy did they pass on to us? What did we learn & love most about our parents?
4. What will we gladly give up to improve the quality of our lives?
5. What will we never give up, no matter what?
6. Dream as if we had forever. Live as if this was the only day.
7. Don't just treat everyone the way we want to be treated. Treat everyone the way they should be treated to believe they can reach their full potential, based upon their own beliefs & heritage.
8. Never judge a person by her cow-dung house. She may be healthier, happier and wiser than us, & probably is.
9. It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature.
10. Love what you have, even if you don't have all that you'd love.

I recognized we are all different, but at the same time, we are all on a safari heading in the same direction. Let's make the journey meaningful & valuable.
