Day Six: Friday (Feb 8th) - Favourite Quote

Hm, so many choices. Tom seems to be speaking from the heart all the time, and really think things through, and have quite a profound understanding of the human mind and heart. So there are all sorts of little nuggets of wisdom that he’s sharing off and on.

Here’s what Tom has said on living for the moment:

"Every day is a creative act: a step closer to becoming who you want to be."

— From his 2013 UNICEF field diary

(That quote resonates with me on many levels. Firstly, because I’m creative every day as a writer. Secondly, because I’m a Buddhist and I firmly believe that each thought and action counts and has an impact on our lives. Thirdly, because living in the here and now makes much more sense than dwelling on the past you can’t change or the future that’s never certain.)
