Be not afraid of growing slowly,
be afraid only of standing still.
Chinese Proverb
This was a perfect quote for me to read today. I was not sure what I was going to write but when I opened the book this was the quote that I opened to. I realize that I am very goal oriented and like to set and reach goals quickly. Since retiring things are moving much slower. I am learning about lots of new things but have not really established myself as an expert in any one thing. I like to feel like an expert. It is just who I am. I am going to have to really think about what the proverb above means to me now. I need to remember I am not standing still. I am moving forward at a slow rate of speed but I am moving forward and hopefully making a difference to others. And for me, making a difference is a very important part of life.
