Living one’s life by Slogans

2009-01-17Where in the world am I today?: North Vancouver, BC, Canada

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

–Lao-tzu, Chinese philosopher

Addendum…

Remember to wear the shoes you like”

–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken

I’ve got a friend I correspond with fairly regularly who I find I often drop quotes on… They just seem to come up in discussion or in the sorts of conversations that he and I carry out by email… On more than one occaision he has commented that the problem with living life by a neat little slogan that seems to capture the moment in a single phrase is the fact that LIFE tends to be a bit messier than what can be contained by a snappy one liner…

I totally agree with him of course, but these nuggets of wisdom still seem to appeal to me for some reason. Perhaps, if you choose to heed the advice of one of these often cliché-ed sayings you should give yourself permission to add an addendum to the original text to make it, at the very least, a little bit more fun. Might try doing this a bit on Saturdays, just for the heck of it…
