Bring Out Your Dead...

Today's quote from Og Mandino reminded me of the classic Monty Python sketch from the Holy Grail: Bring Out  Dead.

Life can be very brutal and squash dreams, drive and self-esteem.   For some this can be a bad day while others endure this for longer periods.  What I have learned during some these  personal trials is that I have the power to shape my perception of the challenges.

I choose this quote for reflection because death is a very hard reality in our lives, nobody escapes it; but there is no reason that my goals and dreams should succumb to an emotional one unless I choose to allow it.
