long to begin it.

May 12th, 2009 at 12:14 pmI don’t think I can add anything other than to say a great quote that I shall ponder, consider and try and adopt as a mantra to live by, especially when I catch myself getting caught up in lifes such trivial things, thanks for sharing Allison.

May 12th, 2009 at 12:19 pmThat quote is beautiful & so true so many of us wait sooo long to actually start living our lives or at least start to look at what we have & we don’t do anything sometimes because we are too afraid or sometimes we just don’t want to because of habit.
I love that quote thanks for sharing Allison have a great rest of your day
Take Care,
Susana

May 12th, 2009 at 12:29 pmThat´s so true. It took me 22 years to realize that. I was living in the dark side until I realized that there was another way. The way of gratefulness instead of the way of self-pity. It was a big change and I´m very happy for it

May 12th, 2009 at 12:42 pmThat is so true. I’m 32 years old now and it seems like just yesterday I was in high school dreaming of being a great screen play writer, having my name become a household name. Then it was like I blinked and here I am. My husband and I are just now planning on having kids, and I’m working so hard on getting my movies and books published. I find myself wondering why I waited so long to go after my dreams. What was I doing when I was young just dreaming? Did I think it was going to come to me? Anyway great quote.

May 12th, 2009 at 2:16 pmThat was very nice and also true.I hope that myself and others will live life head on,and not wait so long to begin what we always wanted to do.At school they always tell us “Make it a great day,the choice is yours”.And as annoying as it has become to hear,I know they are right.We have the oppurtunity to have a wonderful day everyday,if only we choose the appropriate attitude to have.We should all live our lives the way we want to,and waiting for something great to happen or an instruction manuel is not the way to go.
This was a beautiful quote indeed Allison,thanks for sharing.

May 12th, 2009 at 4:23 pmI guess that I am again the voice for the minority … at least let us hope it is the minority.
I grew up too soon, started taking care of others too early, am now expected to spend my life working for others doing activities I find no joy in and get no reward for … and can hardly wait for it to all be over.

May 12th, 2009 at 5:14 pmGreat reminder….kind of depressing…I guess it goes along with that “youth is wasted on the young” quote.

Kathy Says:
May 12th, 2009 at 5:41 pmThis is quite true! When you are young, it feels like it takes forever until you’re an adult, and then when you become an adult, time starts flying by.

May 12th, 2009 at 6:10 pmThat quote is truly something I will work hard to live up to. Thank you Allison, it is always delightful to read your thoughts(ok sounds weird), it has inspired me to be more thoughtful and like at myself more deeply.

May 12th, 2009 at 9:37 pmhow do you define “beginning one’s life”?
how do you know when you have begun living your life?
just throwing this out there. -
razzz Says:
May 12th, 2009 at 11:26 pmi can’t agree more.
i’m always putting things off… delaying them, saying that i’m not ready for them yet.
for me, its another reminder to take hold of every opportunity that presents itself and be brave
thanks allison!

May 13th, 2009 at 12:01 amThat’s a really nice quote.
And so true.Up until last year I’d always been hesitant to try new anything but you’ve just gotta get out there and do stuff. If you don’t like it then don’t do it again but if you don’t try new things occasionally you’ll always wonder if you’ve missed out on something.

May 13th, 2009 at 12:04 amHi Allison,
Nice and true quote, however, I think the tragedy of life is that only few people appreciate what they have.
Have a nice day, too.

May 13th, 2009 at 2:10 amCiao Allison
“to begin to live” is strictly related to the purpose and significance we give to life.
I think that “to live” has different interpretations, one for each of us.

So true. Such are the advantages and “disadvantages” of having self-consciousness.

Irene Says:
May 13th, 2009 at 4:39 amisn’t that the key to the fears of life that continuely try to stop us? The Bible says, “perfect love cast out all fear”.
I’m actually trying to convince a friend to go for her dream & not allow her fear to stop her.
As for me, I’m always asking the Lord not to allow me to miss a step of what His plan & purpose is for my life.
His response to me is; “if you follow me, you won’t miss a step.” Some how I always feel like I need a flash light to do that..
