"Before you speak, listen.
 Before you write, think.
 Before you spend, earn.
 Before you invest, investigate.
 Before you criticize, wait.
 Before you quit, try.
 Before you retire, save.
 Before you die, give."

~William A. Ward

There seemed to be some good insights there
Practical right-headed things to contemplate.
What I noticed whilst typing it out was this:
The many mentions of the word 'before.'

Before. Before. Before. Before.

This really does imply a level of awareness for which
I strive, but do not consistently achieve.
Not yet, anyway.

The beat between the incoming and outgoing breaths
The moment between stimulus and response
The time to consider before action.
I'm working on it.
