"Life Starts Now"

Recently, I ran through the campus of my alma mater, Saint Joseph’s College. Banners hanging through campus proclaim, “Life Starts Now.” The question that came into my mind on this particular run was, “What if each of us said this every morning the moment that we wake up?” It doesn’t matter if we are 18, 24, 29 (that’s a great age), 35, 50, or 100. Education level doesn’t matter. Job status doesn’t matter. Relationship status doesn’t matter.

Two people recently shared plans that embody this spirit. One courageously approached his employer and indicated that he really wanted to turn his part-time position into a full-time position. Another shared the desire to move from teaching into school administration because she believes that she can make more of a difference in that capacity. Thanks to both of you for your dreams and your inspiration.
