You and your muse(s) are on a roll! Seriously!

Who wouldn't have enjoyed being friends with Anne Frank?

Who isn't inspired by Abraham Lincoln's cogent observations?

Who, in their heart of hearts, doesn't agree with Winston Churchill's comment?

All three whose comments you cited, two of whom perished, lived through times of war.

Is it under such duress that some can focus with laser precision? Like the woman who recently became the first to free climb the sheer, 3000-foot vertical rock face of El Capitan in less than 24 hours! Laser precision while physically exhausted and sleep deprived?!

Please keep the challenges to my thinking coming!

Didn’t all three live through times of war? What am I missing?

Gary Spangler's avatar

Yes, as I noted earlier. I added that two died in those times of war.

Love the Churchill quote!

Sometimes when my mind has too much chatter, I take solace in downsizing my “stuff”. Reject, accept, embrace.

On Sunday I took to the bookshelf with a Kondoesque attitude.

Among the titles I found: Fifty-two lessons for life by Napoleon Hill & Judith Williamson

It is loaded with great quotes AND lessons.

I read #1 at the dinner table last night.😂
