When James Cash Penney was ninety-five years old, he said, “my eyesight may be getting weaker, but my vision is increasing.”
Life can be lived in two different ways. It can be lived in preservation, or it can be lived in pursuit.
There is so much anticipation, excitement, and wonder when we pursue it. We ignore the little voice that recommends we settle, and we push through to see what’s on the other side.
Empowerment is in not listening to the little voice telling us we can’t or shouldn’t. There is a triumph in not settling when you can achieve more.
American Jurist, Oliver Wendell Holmes, studied Greek at the age of ninety-four; why? “It’s now or never.” He said.
It’s now or never, my friend. We can pursue, dare, and chase, or we can settle.
