Meaningful experience

There’s something you can do today that you’ll treasure later. Consider what it might be.

Many of your day’s activities will rush quickly into awareness and then recede just as quickly. Yet with the right amount of attention and caring, you can always make any particular experience meaningful and memorable.

Shared experiences are often the ones that have the best chance for enduring significance. Authentic experiences that demand the best from you can be similarly meaningful.

It can be easy to convince yourself you’re too busy to connect with someone special, or to trouble yourself with authentic, enriching activities. Most of the time, though, that’s not really true.

You have the ability, you can find the time. The opportunity exists for rich and meaningful experience, if you’ll make it a priority.

Your life is precious, all of life is precious. Remember to give it the care and attention it deserves.

— Ralph Marston
