Living life in “exist mode”
Great comment left by Tom on the “Thought 4 the Day” blog… definately wanted to share with you guys. ~ Kirk
I like Jack London’s quote. I think that too often people are in “exist mode”–they strive to simply survive instead of thrive. One of my mottos is: “Live everyday of your life.” “Live” as in truly alive, engaged. One of the ways I do this, is by focusing on the little things, which make such a big difference.
“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize that they were the big things.” -Robert Brault
“The purpose of life is a life of purpose. -Robert Byrne
Thanks Tom

I’m a big fan of thriving - that’s why I changed my practice from one of traditional psychotherapy to positive psychology, speaking, and coaching. Tom’s comments remind me of a favorite quote from the late Gordon B. Hinckley who said, “In all of living have much fun and laughter, life is to be enjoyed not just endured.”
