A New Thought

It may not be a new thought for some but then again if it is for one of us it was worth talking about here.

We can all make a difference in our life and in the life of others.

We all have the ability to smile and give a kind word of encouragement.

We all at one time or another felt loved, felt wanted and felt important.

At the very least once.

So why do we still find people addicted to sadness, paralyzed by fear and worry and consumed by indecision?

One word, the new thought, here it is - - Action, or the failure to take it.

A few quotes to read here:

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
-- Albert Einstein

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something.

And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do. ~ Edward Everett Hale

Action, a simple enough word but some just watch the world go by instead of helping it move in a better direction.

Today is Monday, what are your plans this week. Not the plans for everyday life, to just get by. Plans to make another persons world a bit better. A quote from "Our Mission Page" is a place to start;

What is Success?

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people

and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics

and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by

a healthy child, a garden patch

or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed

easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I think this quote brings it all into a perspective of what action we could do to make this world a bit better.

Wayne Gretsky, a great hockey player had this quote that follows:

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Take your shot, so what if you just made someone's day a bit happier, easier, blessed. So what, indeed.

Power Action Thought for Today -- Number 34

Take Action, make another persons day a bit better.

A friend of mine once said it is not that you tried something and failed that matters.

It is that at the end of the day, you can look in the mirror

and love the person in the mirror that is looking back.

Till next time Smile!!!
