Time wastes too fast
Watching Ken Burns documentary on Thomas Jefferson I was touched by this part of his history:
Laurence Sterne (1713-1768) was one of Thomas Jefferson's favorite popular authors. As his wife lay dying in September 1782, Jefferson and Martha copied these lines from Tristram Shandy.
For the remainder of his life, Jefferson kept this paper with a lock of Martha's hair entwined around it. He kept it in a secret compartment of his nightstand next to his bed for the rest of his life. When it was found after his death it was obvious that the paper had been opened and refolded hundreds of times.

[written by Martha] Time wastes too fast: every letter / I trace tells me with what rapidity life follows my pen. The days and hours / of it are flying over our heads like clouds of a windy day never to return.../ [and written by Thomas] and every time I kiss thy hand to bid adieu, every absence which / follows it, are preludes to the eternal separation which we are shortly to make!

Our Potential
Much of our potential lies fallow in fear of failure, abandoned after harsh criticism, or neglected while we are preoccupied with trifling diversions.
Those who live a good life do so not because they are more gifted. Rather, they realize the gifts they have despite doubts, detractors, and distractions.
You can do the same by nurturing your unique talents, cultivating loving relationships, and devoting time every day to peaceful reflection.
