Just for a change, I thought it might be fun to give a quote I like and then let Dingo & Co., make a comment on it – and, of course, anyone else who feels like it.
The one I’ve chosen is, in  my opinion, one of the best of all.
Despite its utter simplicity, it embodies such immense power that if we all did what it enjoins, not only would our own life be immeasurably eased and become less stressful but also the lives of all those with whom we come in contact with day by day.
And what are those magic words?

DO IT NOW!

And the wonderful thing is that it applies to everything, big and small – well nearly everything that is!
DO IT NOW</
