Listening

Virginia 035

.

“I remind myself

every morning:

Nothing I say this day

will teach me anything.

So if I’m going to learn,

I must do it by listening.”

.

~ Larry King

.

When I stop learning feed me to the fishes.

Happiness is learning something new every day.

Mother always said that if your mouth is moving

you cannot hear and you cannot learn.

Today, concentrate on using your mouth for smiling

and use your brain, not to think about

what you are going to say in response to

what someone is saying, but think about

what they are teaching you.

Happiness is learning to listen

and listening to learn.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Walking

Virginia 023

.

“It is no use

walking anywhere

to preach

unless our walking

is our preaching.”

.

~ St. Francis of Assisi

.

.

It is all too easy to talk the talk

but only the humble can walk the walk.

Don’t preach to me or preach at me,

show me that the way you walk,

prove to me that your  actions

are representations of the will of God.

Today, be kind, be loving, be patient and tolerant,

be forgiving and compassionate and most importantly,

be the person your Higher Power wants you to be.

Kindness is walking the way of compassion and love.

Kindness is helping someone help themselves.
