What is on the TV news today? It is one of the thousands of people who volunteered today in the city? Is it that everything that went right, functions smoothly and that served a purpose? What makes us so interested in bad news? What makes good news so unappealing?
Just wondering.
If you were to be on the news tonight - what would you want them to highlight from your day? This reminds me of song I learned as a kid, "Have I done any good in the world today? Have I helped anyone in need? Have I cheered up the sad, made someone feel glad, if not I have failed indeed?"
Take a few moments and create good news in your world today!

You
Have you ever been afraid to copy someone, because you would feel like you were just not being yourself? Of course, you don't want to be a carbon copy of somebody else. You want to be your own person, true to yourself.
But if someone else is doing something right, if they are achieving goals you also wish to achieve, if they are carrying themselves the way you want to carry yourself, why not copy them? In fact copy a little something from everyone you admire! After all, everything you admire in someone else, tey copied from another person.
And everything about you has also been copied. What? you say you didn't copy? You learned all the things you know? Well, learning involves a lot of copying. So don't be afraid to copy from whenever you can...if you think it will make you a better person.

Perspective
What does this say?
Godisnowhere
Did you read, "God is no where"
OR
Did you read, "God is now here"
We don't always see the same thing or in the same way as other people. It all depends on perspective. One of the first tools to get along with other people is to be very aware that they may not be thinking the same way as you. Perhaps due to generational, cultural or even just habitual differences.
Embrace the differences we all have and remember that in each situation we all have a different perspective.

You are an architect!
You and I are architects of the minutes in our lives.
We build ourselves every moment.
What you are this minute is the result of what you were
building during the thousands of minutes that already have
passed.'

Change
The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we can become!
Charles DuBos takes full aim at the infamous "comfort zone", wherein we may not like where we are, and we might even grumble about it, but we choose to hang on to what we know rather thank take a leap forward into uncertainty. Yet it is only in letting go of that we have, that we can grab hold of, what we might become. Better. Kinder. More Successful. Healthier. More self-confident.
Whatever transformation we wish to make, we must first leave behind the old before becoming the new.
