Maximizing Life’s Moments …

Singer, songwriter Gerard Way once said, “One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching!” Well put. Way has it right. Life is the sum total of maximized moments of potential. We are all, to a certain degree, clamoring, climbing and clawing to reach something significant and meaningful that brings out the very best in each of us.
This is commendable, indeed; but it is also critically vital to understand the importance of relaxation, leisure and downtime. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured. My challenge to you this summer is to strike a balance between work and play. And there’s no better place to play than in the Palmetto State! It’s time to hit the lakes, walking trails, picnic areas, parks and beautiful beaches that can be found in our great state.
Unplug and put away the iPhones and iPads and plug into God’s beautiful gift to you and me—the amazing, wonderful world of nature. Why not take an exciting journey into another world to be found in a great book, hike the beautiful elevations of the Upstate, or splash around with family and friends in beautiful and scenic Lake Murray? Pack up the car and take a road trip to any one of our beautiful S.C. beaches for an unforgettable day of sun, fun and laughter.
Remember … the goal should not be to endure life but to seize and maximize every one of its moments! So, live, laugh and love a little more this summer. It is necessary to work diligently; however, we also need to eat well and maintain an active and inspiring lifestyle, marked by just the right balance between work and play. The Earth’s amazing natural beauty and wonder await you … explore and experience the world like never before—moment by moment!
Maximizing my moments,
