How do you know when you are living the dream?

A QUICKIE

monday morning epiphanies

What are your life's success indicators? 

Most of us go through life never thinking about this. If we never choose when to call ourselves a success then we might never be able to administer the all important pat-on-the-back one day. 

I propose the idea of the Quality of Time. 

Just today I decided that when I get to see the people I am in love with every day, then I will call myself a success. Every morning I wake up and drive away from love into my job (which at the moment is pretty much like driving over the edge of a cliff and falling for 8.5 hours into the mouth of a monster). 

I wish I could replace the characters in my weekday with the people that populate my weekend. The former are mostly the people that life imposes on me and the latter are the people I choose over and over again (and I will choose them in Heaven one day).

People are always reminding us about how short life is but no one ever promotes shifting the focus of our goals. 

We can enrich the time that we do have by filling it with the faces and voices of the best people we know. 

Today I will begin to design the day that includes my favourite things and I will commit to a plan that will make this day a month, a year and a lifetime for me.
