That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you are doing, don't let the past move your mind; don't let the future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.

— Charles Dickens —

  Very interesting thought by Mr. Dickens.  It’s as if it is the one time of year we all get our values aligned (for the most part) with Christ’s. Go figure, after all it is His birthday. All the past week of quotes I’ve been sharing on EagleLaunch will become every day living if you…

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”  ~Nelson Mandela What is it worth when you’ve broken the chains of something you were in bondage to if you don’t help others break the same chains? With freedom comes…
