Something to ponder over the weekend - from Jimmy Carter’s book, Sharing Good Times (It’s been said he’s our greatest former president…)

“Perhaps like most other people, I have had to overcome a self-centered inclination to live on my own terms, sometimes obsessed with intense ambition, bringing others into the private recesses of my life only reluctantly. I’ve come to realize that [even my loved ones and I could enjoy the same event without really sharing the essence of it, and that] it takes a lot of effort to sense and accommodate the desires of others in a generous way. This life-time of learning has paid rich dividends, for me and for those with whom I have learned to really share.”
