Avoidance

061

.

“Part of the

happiness of life

consists not in

fighting battles,

but in avoiding them.

A masterly retreat

is in itself a victory.”

.

~ Norman Vincent Peale

.

Most battles are ego driven, selfish,

self-centered desires which will benefit no one.

Stubborn, bull-headed, mean, lazy or ignorant

do not constitute good reasons to start a crusade.

Compromise, there is usually a better way.

Today, if you feel that you must fight,

pick a cause that will benefit the whole world.

Remember, even Jesus found it necessary

to confront the money changers in the temple.

Happiness is avoiding the battles.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

From Our Heart

“Our reaction is what activates

every response and outcome;

therefore if we pause

before we speak,

our words will be spoken

from our heart in truth,

instead of through our ego

in defense.”

.

~ Kelly Young

.

Pause before you speak and ask yourself;

Is it true?   Is it kind?   Is it necessary?

Talking about someone who is not present

to defend themselves is not kind.

Talking about someone in a negative way

so that you may boost your ego is not kind.

Today, be kind, pause before you speak.

Kindness is our words spoken from the heart in truth.

Kindness is the beginning of a life filled with love.
