Daily Affirmation
February 27, 2007
Every once in a while we come across a phrase or insight that sticks with us and perhaps even guides us. I remember knowing a successful businessman who always said "Look Sharp, Feel Sharp" and to this day I kinda say that in the back of my mind when having to dress up for some occassion. He also was a pilot and used to say nonsense like "Left Rudder full steam ahead" so he did know how to balance things out with humor.
Lately I've been re-reading the Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff, which is a great book that makes the argument that Winnie the Pooh is a Westerner who embodies Eastern Philosophy, particularly the teachings of Lao Tzu.
As we pontificate, or ramble on about what Fine Living means to us, we think about balance and relaxation, about enjoying life's simple pleasures, about surrounding one's self with nice things, about family and ancestry and where we've come from, where we are going. We think about philanthropy, about giving, about making the world and our communities a better place. Each of us defines Fine Living differently and this makes it endlessly fun (and challenging) to create experiences on the site that touch as many of us as possible.
What we'd love to do here is see if there are words of wisdom, insights, quotes, bits of brilliance that you've heard, created, lived by or just enjoyed hearing and would now like to share.
Remember: You Only Live Once... So Live without Regret.
