July 2, 2024: Enjoy Life
"Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."
– Gordon B. Hinckley
When was the last time you stepped out on faith and did something that made you a little afraid? The exhilaration, you felt whether you succeeded or not; that sense of accomplishment is still available for you today. Your age does not matter. What matters is that you can still experience that wonderful feeling of accomplishment for having tried something new, today! Continuing to grow by experiencing new things, trying things that you've not done before is the magic elixir of youth! Why not really live until you die? Why not keep growing as long as you can? I used to ask my high school students, how high does a flea jump, or how fast does a cheetah run? The answer? The flea jumps as high as it can. The cheetah runs as fast as she can. Man seems to be the only living critter that doesn't do its best. Why not do as much as you can? Why not be as happy as you can be? Why not be as active as possible? Why not! Why not? WHY NOT???!!!
