Today is the result of the decisions and actions, good and bad, of yesterday. Life for me today is the direct result of the judgments, decisions and actions I have taken in days past. This is an obvious and important truth. Think about it. Just to give one example. I decided in my younger days that I didn't want to have children. I felt strongly about it. That decision has had a tremendous impact on my life, affecting it in almost every facet. I have never regretted the decision for a second. To examine the thought a little further, look at the messes so many young people make of their lives by getting involved in things like drugs, alcohol, premarital sex, etc.. Good sense, good judgment, and the strength and courage to live true to this sense and judgment is so important in life. There are some mistakes that can just carry so much consequence --- mistakes whose ramifications can follow us all the rest of our lives. Feb 1981
