A Good “CanNot” – Wisdom From History --

Posted Oct 6, 2009 03:58 PM
Today I received a quote from a friend that I’d like to share with you. It caught my attention, caused me to pause….. Read and share your thoughts.

It inspires us to think, to reflect deep in our heart, to share and discuss in conversation, commit to, develop a new plan and then take action -- For peace, harmony, joy, success, a ‘rich’ life (emotional, mental, physical, financial) – in our personal life, and in our business, country and the world.

Quote of wisdom from Abraham Lincoln, U.S. President:

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative
and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could
and should do for themselves.

6th Oct 09-Thank you Barbara for the post.
The comment would be-one can praise each person one meets every day.
Concentrate on what is really there: the energy and desire to be.
The person in front of you has awakened,dressed,left their home, is on their way to their destination [even if it is unknown to them when you see them]. We are not privy to the degree of effort it took for that person to be in front of you in this moment.
A simple smile, nod, eye contact-acknowledgement of their existence, these simple acts may be the only praise they may receive this particular day.... a 'namaste' without the the prayer hands, if you will.

Honoring each with total acceptance, can be the stimulus for each of us "to do for ourselves".

and last but not least-Don't forget to 'namaste' yourself in the mirror either!..don't leave home without it!
