Came across a wonderful quotation which I thought I'd share with you all.
"Only when each instant is seen for what it truly is, does the soul
begin to feel its power to change itself, and the world as well. With
each breath, the mystery of the universe unfolds as a vast web of
perpetual change; death is certain, and transformation is everywhere
around us. Each moment becomes a unique opportunity, never to be
repeated in the life of a soul, or even in the life of the earth. When
the passage of time is felt and understood, the smallest deed becomes
an act of power, its consequences irrevocable. When the finality of
death is accepted, time becomes infinitely precious, and all life
becomes sacred. In this extraordinary world, real responsibility
begins with proper reverence for the limitations of life."
