Welcome what comes your way
When a dog runs at you, whistle for him.
-Henry David Thoreau
What a beautiful proverb. Wisdom for life conveyed simply.
I love metaphors, such a powerful way to convey a message.
Accept life now as is, with enthusiasm and smile and things would be just fine.

Now and One
Want to create something?
Want to change something?
Have a goal and a plan.
But here is the secret.
You have to come up with steps small enough that can be done NOW
because it can only happen ONE at a time.
If you want to feed millions,
1. feed ONE NOW.
2. Repeat Step 1
If you want to handle a billion dollars,
1. start managing your pennies NOW.

You begin saving the world by saving
one man at a time; all else is grandiose
romanticis or politics.
-Charles Bukowski
