There are reminders that we should all heed as we traverse our journey. They can be instructive and helpful and set the context for what our purpose is to be. A good reminder comes from Thoreau who wrote about “living deliberately” so as to avoid the danger that we all face – discovering at the end of life that we haven’t lived. It is a call to action, a reminder and sense of situational intention that we should embrace if we are to responsibly go along on our journey. We have in a way, an obligation, to use the resources that we have, internally and externally, to maximize what is possible, to find out what it is we are capable of. It tends towards more than we thought possible and each time we expand what we know and feel we can expand yet again. The journey well lived is indeed the one that we lived deliberately. A reminder and a beacon and so much more
