Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

Ground yourself

Walk barefoot through the grass. Swim briskly in the ocean.

Look people in the eyes as you listen patiently to what they are saying. Feel the texture, breathe in the aroma of the world around you.

Ground yourself often in the reality of existence. Carry yourself continually in the authenticity of your own being.

It’s enticing to get yourself whisked into a frenzy by concepts and images that have only a tenuous connection to what is real. Indulge your imagination, for it has unique value, yet always keep in mind who and what you really are.

Every day offers opportunities for rich, profound experiences. The best of them are the most honest, well grounded ones.

Keep yourself well connected to the miracle and reality of being. That is the fertile territory where you live your best life.

— Ralph Marston
