Your choice...

By Vichara


When you get up this morning you have 2 choices. Push play and repeat the day and sleepwalk through it as much as possible or push record and engage, inspire and connect with the world and those that you encounter. So that by the end of the day you have embraced and left an indelible mark around you that will be remembered for what the world not just did for you, but what you did for the world.

Did you know?
"Scrupulous" and its close relative "scruple" ("an ethical consideration") come from the Latin noun "scrupulus," the diminutive of "scrupus." "Scrupus" refers to a sharp stone, so "scrupulus" means "small sharp stone." "Scrupus" retained its literal meaning but eventually also came to be used with the metaphorical meaning "a source of anxiety or uneasiness," the way a sharp pebble in one's shoe would be a source of pain. When the adjective "scrupulous" entered the language in the 15th century, it meant "principled." Now it also commonly means "painstaking" or "careful."
