Ready to Live?

Way back in the 1960's, when I first became interested in personal growth, I began to read widely. One author I really felt drawn towards was Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I read whatever I could find written by and about him, and was especially fond of his journals. I found an old journal of my own today, and chanced upon a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson I thought was worth sharing.

"We are always getting ready to live, but never living."

I think it is worth reflecting on whether the things you do every day are part of getting ready to live, or really living your life.
