What do you truly know? ~ Quote of the Day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day : ) 02/13/12

Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.

: o )  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Truth be known we know very little.  I love the message that Steve Jobs gave to the graduation class in 2007 at Stanford University.

The message, at least part of the message was that you can not connect the dots looking forward. Try as you must you can only connect the dots looking backward in retrospect.

We all seem to want to see our future, know what we are about to do is the right thing, if not the right thing at least the right thing for us.  But we really don't know do we.  We have to look at the dots and how they connected in our life by looking in deep reflection.

Thats just the way it is.

He explains so truthfully that you have to follow your instinct, your gut, your faith in your being, in your creator and trust that what your about to do is for you own good and the good of others.

We don't know anything in life.  Sure we have our values, and our experience to help us through our life.  But we really don't understand the true acceptance and tolerance and love that we all should freely give and live with.

If we all knew that fact.  We would have little or no conflict and sadly we know this world, even our world has conflict and troubles that sadly flow our way.

But as I have said before, life is a series of waves, and you either learn how to ride the wave, or become part of the crash of the waves. It is always our choice and our preparation that makes this true.

So today, enjoy your life, be grateful for what you have been given.  Love like you never loved before the pure grace that flows your way.  Accept that things will not always go your way, and thats ok but truly what is important is how we handle the path that we walk upon.

Connect your dots, looking back you will and may the grace of God and love and tenderness guide you to a happy and joyous path.

Smiles to you this day : )

From your Gratitude the flame burns brighter

“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by

a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to

think with deep gratitude of those

who have lighted the flame within us.”

~Albert Schweitzer

I truly try to be that spark for you.  To be that light in the morning, to inspire, to bring about a smile, a better understanding of the power of the smile, simple kindness.  

That is my intention and I am grateful to God above for you the reader to taking the time to take it in.

It is sort of a partnership of sorts.  All the light in the world will not work if we always want to stay in the darkness and isolate ourselves from others.

It can hurt being part of the human race, sometimes what we expect from those we are close to is not what we get.

The phrase 'it always seems those closest to us seem to hurt us the most' is often heard but in fact it need not be that way.

Establish your values, your values and stick to them.  Don't let another determine what is important to you and try to redefine you. That is not love, that is control.

Establish your esteem, what you think about yourself is critical to what your perception is about another.  You must never let another person try to define your worth or value. If they don't love you unconditionally then it was never really love at all.

Place upon your heart the desire to improve and reevaluate yourself.  Daily we should look at written goals that we have established for our life.  Goals are the road map for achievement.

We are either growing in life or dying with life.

Everyday we change, we must be grateful for that fact, for without change we would be already dead and starting to decay.

Live, laugh, love and learn a little bit more each day.

Smile each day, laugh each day and do something nice for another each day.  When we put out these emotions and actions, they will return.

Should we put out ingratitude, hate, anger, common sense says it will return, and time after time we can see it with another that it does return often effecting more than just that person. It effects the lives of those around them.

Be that light, that spark, that candle in the wind.

Be grateful for what has been given to you.  Even if you have a little understand that you really have more than enough.

Gratitude Tip for Today

Truly look for another person who walks into your life who just may be in need of a kind word, a word of encouragement, a smile.

When you find that person, share with that spark that will brighten and enlighten not only them but will strengthen you.

" The six most important words: I admit I made a mistake.

The five mort important words: You did a good job.

The four most important words: What is YOUR opinion?

The three most important words: If you please.

The two most important words: Thank You

The one most important word:  We.

The least important word:  I. "

~ Author Unknown

Maybe with a quote like that the author took it to heart and did not want to take any credit.  Maybe it was all about what she/he could give to all of us and not bask in any credit that she/he wanted to attain.  Maybe.

Giving thanks, such a simple thing but so much importance given to those two words.  The phrase 'Thank You' needs to be sent out much more.

Sent to God above for a fresh day restored.

Sent to the mirror when we gaze in our soul.

Sent to the day with all its majesty.

Sent to each other for friendship received.

Sent to our co-workers who brighten our day.

Sent to our customers who really do make us our pay.

Sent to our family who love us for who we are.

Sent to our love to let them know how grateful we really are.

Send out that 'Thank you' each chance you may get, because it will send out energy that will increase and flow on.  Your spirit will shine and your heart will grow.  Not grow in size in the physical sense but grow in maturity and grow in the gift that God meant for us to sow.

Give thanks!

Oh, once again..... Thank You!
