I was watching TV years ago and they were showing different clips. Up comes this little video on a 104 year old woman having a birthday. She was smiling, but quiet. Every else around her was boisterous and having a good time. Various catch phrases were exchanged. One question came up that she ANSWERED that I never forgot
QUESTION
She was imply asked if she was given to live life over again, what would she do differently? She smiled with a smile that answered her first and then she shared what was behind that smile....
She said..." I would have eaten More Ice Cream".
ASSESSING LIFE
Here is a person that has been through it all. She is just like you and me. She wanted all the things that we want and went about getting them and having them and doing what it is that you do with them. She reached the end of her journey and is assessing the whole thing as she sees it
CHILD LIKE ANSWER
The statement she made is closer to that of being a child that of an adult wanting riches, power or fame. It is simple in its make-up, but very revealing for its meaning...
YOUR TURN TO STAR
Right now, in you life is the answer to the question someone will put to you when you are 104 years old. They will say to you
If you had it to live all over again, what would you do?
Instead of pondering this NOW....How about just going off to do it...whatever that is. That is your answer.
