HOW TO LIVE A MEANINGFUL LIFE…

Vega de Valcarce, Spain

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.  An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.  Climb slowly; steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.

Written by Harold V. Melchert – for The Toastmaster Magazine – October 1965

REFLECTION:

  • How are you living each day?
  • Are you climbing slowly and steadily?
  • Are you so focused on the goal that you are missing many beautiful scenes?
  • How can you  “enjoy the moment” a little more?
