2019

Happy new year!  I like New Year's Day because it gives us a fresh start.  A new beginning.  New hope.  Whatever happened last year, we can put it behind us and look to the future.

This year will be whatever we make it, and it starts with having the right attitude.  I came across these quotes about how we should live our lives.  Let them help you jumpstart your life into the beginning of a new year:

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”  -- Ghandi

 “You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live. Now.” -- Joan Baez

 

“Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans.” -- John Lennon 

 

“You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.” -- Charles Kettering

 

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” -- Oscar Wilde

 

 “We are not here merely to make a living. We are here to enrich the world.” -- Woodrow Wilson 

 

“Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.” -- Will Rogers

 

“The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything.” -- Theodore Roosevelt

 

"Don't be defined by what life throws at you and that you cannot control.  Accept the hand you are dealt with grace and then go on to play that hand as joyously and as vigorously as you can." -- Charles Krauthammer
