You know the saying, "You can't teach an old dog a new trick," right? Well, go to the mirror right now. Are you old? Maybe. Are you a dog? If you are, congratulations on being able to read; now go outside and play. Everyone else, listen up!
There’s
something divine about helping others; not just the
guilt ridden spare change of a lint filled pocket, but
rather the actual, sincere effort to change the course
of another’s life for the better. It doesn’t
just change that person, but also you… and ultimately
makes the world a better place; if only a little corner
of it.
Arghhhhh.... !!!!! You ever have one of those days that you just wish you could be left alone? That you didn't have so much you had to do? That you didn't have to be YOU?
Well, you can... without changing anything outside yourself... without changing anything you do.
Now be honest with yourself .
Do you think you're honest? Do you think other people
are? Do you really think that honesty is the best policy?
Do you really want others to be honest? Can you handle
the truth?
We
all know that there is suffering in Life. We often use it
as an excuse to stop trying, or to not believe in something
bigger than ourselves. There used to be a popular saying "No
Pain, No Gain" but if something really hurts, it's just
not right.
There
are going to be those times when someone else offers their
opinion and it just doesn't mesh with anything we believe
in. That doesn't mean either of us are wrong; it just means
we see things differently. Getting them to see that though
might be another thing entirely.
