The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

There are many terrible things in my life, but most of them never happened.
-Attributed to Michel de Montaigne on self-doubt*
*This quote was attributed to Michel de Montaigne by Ariana Huffington in a recent speech. Although I could not find the source material and others have questioned where she found it. Nonetheless, it is still a good quote.

Todd,
The Arnold Bennett quote really made me stop and think.
And, Bennett is another quote-worthy person from the past who led an extraordinarily interesting life.
That quote inspired the "15 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself" article. It was an entirely new perspective to me. I often feel regret at missed opportunities and wasted time. I don't want to be a bad steward of my life. But we can't let that paralyze us. The next moment, second, minute, does not know the difference if you had wasted the previous one. That's a pretty awesome perspective.
I love your posts with quotes! Keep'm coming.
Thanks Paul!
