The shortness of life, but art thou squandering even a piece of it?

(If this is in an email, click on the title of the post to read the entire post.)

I would suggest you read this, and then put into your morning launch routine something life:  "I behold this day most precious.  I know my time here is limited.  I will spend it only on the most valuable, and not squander it!'  "I am the master of my day, no one else, nothing else."  (Although some people look down at affirmations, we must be saying these to ourselves somehow - and it is wonderful if it is already "built in".)

I think this is the most important thing a person can know, and practice.

The link is to an Evernote, so it contains bolding by me, with a few notes:
