Poem by Judith Gass

Why are you waiting to begin your life
Do you think the world must care and come soliciting?
Listen to the knocking at the door of your own heart
It is faint because you have not answered
You have fooled yourself with preparations
Time left laughing while you considered possibilities
Wake up you have slept long enough
Wake up tomorrow may be too late
When you finally dare open the door
Your life will begin arriving
Cautiously at first unbelieving that the gate
So long locked against the tide has finally been opened
Then with swells of neglected dreams
Then with waves of joyful revelation the sea will follow
You will be swept by the full and magnificent tides of
your own longing
That no one else can give you
That no one else can claim.

Rule of three

Three things you need to know about Life

Life is best for those who want to live it
Life is difficult for those who want to analyze it.
Life is worst for those who want to criticize it.

Three ideas on how you can enjoy your Life

Laugh so hard the even sorrow smiles at you.
Live life so well that even death loves to see you alive
Fight so hart that even fate accepts its defeat.

Three essential stages of Life

The Teen Stage; You have all the time and energy but no money.
The Working Stage: You may have the money and energy but no time.
The Oldies Stage: You have all the time and money but not enough energy.
