Thoughtful Thursday *New* July 07, 2011

Happy Thursday to you all! 

Smiles sent your way, may happiness spring all around you, and should any strife or sadness spring up, my wish is that another spirit pass along a smile and a kind word to encourage you. : )

This day each week I want to share with you the importance of being thoughtful towards each other.

Taking the time to make a difference and share the fact that kind people do exist on this planet.

But first a quote to start us off and ponder today:

The fact that you are willing to say,

 "I do not understand, and it is fine,"

 is the greatest understanding 

you could exhibit.

~Wayne Dyer

We are not designed to be perfect, nor should we strive to be perfect in everything.  Such a lofty goal is often the reason we have frustration and stress.

To be human is to have error, we had our perfection in the Garden of Eden.  We made the mistake, we chose the apple and the rest as they say was the end of perfection in the human race.

There is however a very large distinction between error and outright wrongness.

When we wrong another spirit we close that openness that was first there.

Take time to life another spirit up, don't harm them.  Take the time to share a smile, a kind word.  What have they really done to deserve anything but.

If your wronged you have to ask yourself first was that the intention of the other.  Is this just your perception?  Talked yesterday about the value of the statement Perception is reality. The point being your perception in any given situation is not of significance in human relations.  It is better to seek to understand the other than force the issue of being understood.

So it is with many things that happen in this world.

The old story of the man who was tired of walking and his feet hurt felt differently after he saw a man with no feet.  His feeling changed about his own pain and discomfort.

We should always error on understanding another persons pain and error before we take it as a personal attack.

As you go forth today, try to seek to understand first and share that simple sincere smile with another.

Smiles to you and yours : )
