I was impressed with a quote from Master Oogway, the Galapagos Tortoise, as he counseled Po, the Giant Panda, about living in the present, when he said,
"Yesterday is history; Tomorrow is a mystery; But today is a gift, because it is a present."
It is important for us all to live in the present. Be the best you can be today, not tomorrow, and don't worry about the past, there is nothing you can do about it, but today, you can.
Today, be the kind of person you should be.
Be that friend.
Be that servant.
Be that leader.
Be that worker.
Be that thinker.
Be that student.
Be that example.
...be what you should be today.
One of the special features on the DVD, are the "Secrets of the Furious Five."
The Secrets are:
Patience
Courage
Confidence
Discipline
Compassion
Reminds me of an inspiring lesson once taught by an ancient American prophet named Moroni--"And charity suffereth long, and is kind and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things hopeth all things, endureth all things." (Moroni 7:45)
As the years go by, I hope I can learn and be the type of person I should be.

Thanks for that. We all need to be reminded to live in the present because we all worry to much about the past and future. I really enjoyed that movie. There were a lot of lessons to it.
