The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it. (William James)

Today I am back with a quote of wisdom again. It has been a while since I wrote about famous sayings and words of wisdom, but here I am again. What do you think of today's quote?

I am actually debating a little bit with myself. I totally agree that it is worth living life and spending life investing in things that last forever and outlast us (that is, believing in Jesus and working on things that will impact eternity). In other words, not to live for the current pleasures, but to have a greater vision when it comes to what's ahead.

But, then I also see the need we have of actually just living in the present and enjoying what we have and what we do, and to be able to enjoy what's going on, right now!

Let me say, these do not battle one another, but we need to live with a perspective of eternity and to live for things that will outlive us, but not in a way that makes our present lives miserable, but in a way that makes us happy in the present.
