Today's inspiration was written by Larry Thornton:So often, it seems the things that happen to us in life are not so much about what is happening in the moment, but rather are about placing us on a path to lead the way for others. It would be years before I realized the truth of that.

It would be years before I realized the truth of that. First of all, consider that I was born in 1954. That was a big year for the United States. Dwight Eisenhower was president. Bill Haley and the Comets released “Rock Around the Clock,” which ushered in the era of rock and roll.

IImage by Frank Winkler “You talk about serving my community and designing my future and a lot of other things. I don’t have time for that!”Time can be one of our most illusory possessions. We all at various moments tend to think we have more or less time than we do. Natu­rally, therefore, we tend to abuse time, or fail to capitalize on it, without even realizing what we are doing. The mindset of thinking that we have more time than we actually do, often leads to procrastination and costly delays.

We can learn from each other and be inspired by those we meet, or whose words we read. Our experiences may be very different, but we are still mirrors of each other. What can we learn from each other?

Some moments you never forget. They become seared into your memory because the weight of the experience is so great. You remember what you were wearing and what time of day it was. You even recall the weather. One such moment happened on a gorgeous, sunny day, sometime around 10 o’clock in the morning. I was on the second floor of the headquarters of First Commercial Bank. I had on my bluest blue suit and a starched white shirt.
