As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away.
Mitch AlbomWeโre so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaksโweโre involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we donโt get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?
Mitch AlbomItโs funny. I met a man once who did a lot of mountain climbing. I asked him which was harder, ascending or descending? He said without a doubt descending, because ascending you were so focused on reaching the top, you avoided mistakes. The backside of a mountain is a fight against human nature,โ he said. โYou have to care as much about yourself on the way down as you did on the way up.
