Happy Friday everyone! A very happy Friday to you all! The weekend is here, yeah! The light up night in Pittsburgh is tonight! Yeah! Fireworks! Hot Chocolate! Santa Claus! lights Yeah!
My Janice is even excited about the ice skating down at PPG Rink so that get a big Yeah from her.
I don't skate, I call it falling so thats not me, but I will try to take some pictures.
Yesterday I wrote about acceptance and how when we do have more of this in our life we have a greater chance for happiness and a greater chance to share joy and love.
Tolerance –noun
a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.
a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward opinions and practices that differ from one's own.
interest in and concern for ideas, opinions, practices, etc., foreign to one's own; a liberal, undogmatic viewpoint.
the act or capacity of enduring; endurance: My tolerance of noise is limited.
The importance of being objective and fair and yes permissive is equally important. If we could teach acceptance and tolerance to our children and our children's children what a different world we would live in.
For this equilibrium now in sight, let us trust that mankind,
as it has occurred in the greatest periods of its past,
will find for itself
a new code of ethics, common to all,
made of tolerance, of courage,
and of faith in the Spirit of men.
~Albert Claude
Now my thoughts and beliefs have always tried to focus on to have acceptance and tolerance is not to just go with the flow when the goal or plan of your destiny is not being met. For trying to head east to watch a sunset will always lead to disappointment. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result and expecting something to change in the results.
It does not happen that way. Never has, Never will.
Change is good.
Change is perhaps the one thing that has allowed great thoughts to manifest.
Never let another take advantage of you and expect them to stop with out change. You must take the reins of your life. You must take control of your destiny and follow your heart and listen to your intuition and follow the path that you believe will lead you there.
Will you always be right? No
Will you always be better for doing so, for changing? I say yes, because the oly failure in life is having never tried at all.
A video from a recent post but enjoy it again all the same:
"If you have never failed, you have never lived...."
As you flow into this weekend stay warm, stay safe and stay loved.
May your smiles abound.
May your joy lift another spirit.
May you stay hungry and stay foolish!
May your heart be warmed because it always was.
Smiles sent your way this day and always!
Happy Thursday everyone! : )
