quote from linked in

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." - Alfred D Souza

How many times have we put off life...until after I finish school, until I'm married, after I have kids, when the kids are older, when they are out of the house...in college...out of college...after I change jobs...after I retire? This quote really "hit home" when I first read it years ago. It's okay to have goals...and it's okay to have a life while I'm pursuing my goals.

Thanks for such a great discussion!
