Gun’s Quote-of-the-Week:

“Good artists copy. Great artists steal.”

-Picaso

So, I’m not going to lie. There are many Gun’s Quotes that I’ve written that don’t exactly come from me. They come from somebody else. I’m inspired by many different sources and my inspiration is not limited to just one theme.

Case-in-point: This weekend I took a cab from the hotel to the airport after my cousin’s wedding. The cab driver told me that he writes letters to each one of his passengers. Then, he handed me mine.

This was definitely the first time something like this has ever happened. So, what to do with a random stranger’s letter? Post it on the internet for all to see, of course:

Title: Late Summer Letter

Summer means different things to all of us. Some think, ‘no more cold weather, freezing ice, dangerous slippery roads.’ Summer means that warm feeling down to your bones, getting out for walks or maybe barbecuing with friends.

Maybe you think summers are hot and humid zapping all the strength out of you. You become sweaty, uncomfortable and a bit lazy. Which are you?

We’ve always gotten what we call forth; will this summer be hot and humid or warm & wonderful – I wonder!

I tell you this, your life proceeds out of your intentions. Do you intend to prove the theory that life seldom brings you what you want, or do you intend to demonstrate who you really are?

Simply notice what you’ve been choosing and choose again. It’s a great thing.

Experience has taught us that your future choices will be better then your previous choices. We all know that but we forget this wonderful “gift.” Learn to love your so-called “bad choices;” they will teach you more than all the lectures, writings, laws and yes, even that beloved advice from friends & relatives. Live and love all your choices. Keep making them. He’ll love you for it! It keeps it interesting for Him. What do you really think drives the “Big Guy?”

So there you have it. There’s yet another person in the world who tries to make others think about their lives. Of course I was made to think after reading this random letter that I received, and I hope sharing it with you had made you do the same.

…and that’s why it’s a Gun’s Quote!
