Thought for the Day ~ As we Remember

Always do your best……..there are times in life when we look for answers to the world’s problems.  We feel sadness at how some seem to live as if we were the last generation on earth, with neither a care or concern for our environment.  We lament that to watch the world news brings heartache and despair for some.  There is disappointment in our leaders as they sometimes seem intent on building their power base, instead of building up their people. There are no excuses for the shape this world is in. 

We have experienced brilliant leadership and beacons for peace in those who have gone before us.  While some are lucky to live in a peaceful environment, many more wonder if their children will come home from school today.  If there is one thing we must all master it is to be able to hold discussions with people whom we disagree with…..it is to recognize that our freedom is a gift given to us by those who serve.  So today as you remember, send love out into the world, let her know that you want her to shine her light on everyone.  May every moment  be overflowing with love, harmony, and cooperation.

Robin Sharma said “All great leaders, thinkers, and humanitarians have abandoned selfish lives for selfless lives and, in doing so, found all the happiness, abundance and satisfaction they desired.  They have all understood that all important truth of humanity; you cannot pursue success, success ensues.  It flows as the unintended but inevitable by-product of a life spent serving people and adding value to the world.  Happiness and a life of deep fulfillment come when you commit yourself, from the very core of your soul, to spending your highest human talents on a purpose that makes a difference in other’s lives.”
