Sleep Too Much

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty. – Proverbs 20:13, Old Testament

Some dream of big things, others wake up and do them. – Old saying

I wish I could stand on a busy corner, hat in hand, and beg people to throw me their wasted hours. – Bernard Berenson Miserable people think they can escape their problems by sleeping. They think the perfect world is found only on their Perfect Sleeper (that’s a mattress brand). Happy people know that one of the purposes of life is to matter – and you can’t matter much when you’re merged with your mattress. Miserable people repeatedly hit the snooze button to avoid living each day to the fullest. When life’s alarm clock goes off and says, “Get up and do something,” they smack the snooze button and say, “Yeah, sometime I will.” At the end of their lives, when their Creator says, “What did you do with your life?” they’ll say, “Well, um, I was kinda tired.”
