I saw this quote recently – “You’re not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Just relax. Master the day. Then just keep doing that every day.” I immediately liked the quote and the sentiment behind it. But after a little pondering, I thought I’d re-write it, and since no one

Here’s another thought-provoking quote by Brazilian author and lyricist, Paulo Coelho, to hopefully help move our week in a positive direction. (I forgot how much I love this guy, so watch for more of his wise words in the future.) “When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”

“Perfection is no small thing, but it is made up of small things.”~Michelangelo (NOTE: – I actually think that in most instances, “perfection” is really a myth. But that’s a story for another day.)
