Albert Einstein’s Advice
As I add a birthday or two, it often crosses my mind as to what purpose I am to have. I want to continue to grow in experiences. I want to do for family members. I want to give of myself whenever I am able.
Albert Einstein has been a notable mentor to deep thinking scientists for . . . ever. Interestingly enough the human side of Albert was not that much different from someone such as myself. Ask what his thoughts were of his life, there were two pieces of advice of his that have been found and that I can relate to. First, “A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.” He had written that in German on Imperial Hotel Tokyo stationary. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” reads a second bit of advice that was found written on a blank piece of paper. Such a great man with such great advice for all of God’s children.
Each day I have no idea what my day may bring in thought, word or deed. The scheduled life is no longer what drives my days. If I remain open, I know that I will have something to show for the gift that each day is. A waste of such a wonderful gift just isn’t in the cards for me. What has helped me tremendously is taking a walk every day and letting God fill me with his grace. I will admit the wind gusts that I have walked against these last days have just about brought me to my knees when they have subsided. I have taken it as a sign that . . . just as Megan used to tell me when she was a toddler . . . “Grammie you can do this!” I round the corner of the county road that will take me to my home and I feel energized and I am ready for whatever He has in store for me.
