I would like to share a quote with you that I recently read:
I prefer joy in the present to riches in the future.
Helen Keller
What a wonderful reminder to remain grounded in the present instead of waiting / wishing for the riches of the future.
I have just finished reading her autobiography titled “The Story of My Life”, which is where I came across this quote. What a remarkable woman she was! Despite being blind and deaf from the age of 19 months (after suffering a terrible illness) she graduated cum laude from university with a BA degree.
She was a fiercely determined woman and filled with a huge love for life and all that the present moment offers us.
