testify to love

Once in a while, life goes by in a flash. The last post, I had 6 days to exams. Exams were over 2 days ago. Just finished reading My Steve by Terri Irwin. Terri's honesty was felt through her words.

Sometimes books can make you feel so small an insignificant, not in a bad way, but in a way that makes you reflect in the things you do or say, or make you think of what you can/want achieve to make a difference in some way.

I went to find this page again after I finished reading the book. It kinda stood out to me.

Ever since I met him, Steve refused to let me dress or have anything to do with any of his wounds. He didn't even like to talk about his injuries. I think this was a legacy from his years alone in the bush. He had his own approach to being injured, and called it 'the goanna theory'.

"Sometimes you'll see a goanna that's been hurt," he said. "He may have been hit by a car and had a leg torn off. Maybe he's missing a chunk of his tail. Does he walk around feeling sorry for himself? No. He goes about doing his business, hunting for food, looking for mates, climbing trees and doing the best that he can."

It's a good book. I liked the part where Steve told his mate, Wes, that they had a 'board meeting' to go to, and they went on a surfing trip somewhere. Steve also said, "If I could be remembered for any one thing," Steve said, "I'd like to be remembered as a good dad." I wish I knew that man. He's a legend, who seemed to have a spiritual connection with nature. Ok, enough about the book..........

Life is only this short. We need to shorten the time taken to define ourselves so that we can really get it going. Find your purpose and work towards that.
