I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness, like holding the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Perhaps you have some untapped talent you may regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Courage
Do you think of yourself as courageous?
It often takes courage to do things we do not want to do. For example, to stand up to a bully, especially when they are bullying someone else, and others are watching and not acting, or when others expect you to go along with the lie.
Courage comes from the heart and not the head. It is about kindness and compassion. If we let it, the head may stop us from being courageous. Telling you that you will be hurt in some way if you move forward. Maybe physically, or it could be humiliating, or you may be emotionally hurt. However, if we let the head keep us from being courageous, then our world would be filled with selfish people who would rather laugh at someone being hurt than step in and help.
Luckily, courage is usually spontaneous, and people who live from their hearts do not have time for the head’s nonsense. They act before thinking.
Courage does not always come quickly. However, if one person steps up, more are likely to follow.
Today’s challenge:
Be an Individual; don’t go along because everyone else is.
