Sometimes it's OK to Assume

Ok, well normally making assumptions is considered a no, no. However, take a look at the quote I ran across today. Not that these assumptions will completely change your world, but maybe just spending a minute with each of these thoughts may make you look at your day a little differently.

"I have also found that by making four simple assumptions in our lives we can immediately begin leading a more balanced, integrated, powerful life. They are simple–one for each part of our nature–but I promise you that if you do them consistently, you will find a new wellspring of strength and integrity to draw on when you need it most.

• For the body–assume you've had a heart attack; now live accordingly.
• For the mind–assume the half-life of your profession is two years; now prepare accordingly.
• For the heart–assume everything you say about another, they can overhear; now speak accordingly.
• For the spirit–assume you have a one-on-one visit with your Creator every quarter; now live accordingly. "
