I was watching a video with the designer David Carson. At the end of his talk, he made a very interesting point. He asked, "How do you know if you have th perfect job for you?" He said, "My answer is that if you have the financial means not to work and able to fully and happily support yourself, you would still be doing the same work anyway. If you don't have that kind of job what are you doing? Trust me when I say, once you die - you are going to be dead for a long time."

Wake up and do what you really love because life is precious. We don't know if we have 5 minutes or 50 year left. That is a driving message for all of us. Are we wasting time doing stuff that we hate and despise, basically assuming what Viktor E. Frankl called the "Provisional Existence," (a life placed on hold or pause)? I hope not.

The practice of Buddhism can be like sandpaper (if you practice seriously), removing dust, dirt, paint and grime from the surface. It really does enable us to unify our lives and be as we truly would be and fully appreciate this amazing life that we have been given. Remember....

Let me respectfully remind you,
Life and death are of supreme importance.
Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost.
Each of us must strive to awaken;
Awaken!!
Take heed; do not squander your life.

May You Live Your Life Well,
