Words to live by

[make_your_move]

Two of my very close friends have a wonderfully direct way of communicating and will occasionally say something particularly succinct - this is from a conversation they had last night and is re-posted with permission of said speaker.

From matthew_g

"If we can manage our present using our past, then it is experience. If our past manages our present, that's baggage."

(*damn that "food for thought" stuff...*)

Exactly.
I like to say that we all have baggage, we just need to find the person that has baggage that compliments or completes our set.

Peace...

Hmmm ...

In other words, we need the right baggage handler? :-D Or would that be bellhop ....?

(Okay. Shutting up now.)
