Be the Creative Artist of Your Own Life

     It's common and very sad to see people 'go with the flow', take 'the path of least resistance', not 'make waves' and 'minimize stress.' Too many of us are simply along for a passive ride on the current of life, perhaps only realizing that we've never lived when on our death bed.
     It seems infinitely wiser to take an active, alert, awake, energetic, engaged approach to life:

     "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
       Henry David Thoreau    http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/henrydavid107665.html#S26fAxRWZzeJYPHF.99

     "Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul."
W. Somerset Maugham   http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/w/w_somerset_maugham.html#SCbvgRSQIk57jcbQ.99

     “Be always mindful of what you are doing and thinking. So that you may put the imprint of your immortality on every passing incident of your daily life.”         Abd’l-Khaliq Ghijdewani, 13^th century Sufi
