Seems like good advice. via Life Vibes. www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

DEEP!

1. If you're looking for reasons not to do it, do it. If
you're looking for reasons to do it, don't do it.

2. Don't offer a lecture to a person who needs a hug.

3. No amount of anxiety is going to make any difference
to anything that is going to happen.

4. How can you be ahead or behind in life when you are
moving on a path that only you can take?

5. May the calm in you win over the chaos around you.

6. When you're born, you look like your parents, When
you die, you look like your decisions.

7. You are here to understand yourself, not to be
understood.

8. The truth sounds like hate to those who hate the truth.

9. Sometimes what didn't take place was the most
important thing that happened.

10. I love life because there'll always be a situation you think
you'll never get over and you always do every time.

11. Stopping your worst habit would change your life much
faster than starting your best habit. Fix the leak, before
filling the bucket.

Perhaps mostly because many people think only a select group of people deserve such luxury, be it here or in an afterlife and, coincidentally enough, this select group happens to almost always includes themselves.

I find it fascinating that everyone's idea of Heaven is untouched paradise with crystal clear waters, clean air full of birdsong, lush forests teeming with wildlife and a utopia society where nobody goes hungry. But if you suggest we try to do that on Earth people think you're evil. -Nate Luebbe. Travel/Adventure

The most successful political propaganda in our time was convincing millions of people that caring for others and the planet was somehow a threat to America.

Ten tons of reason, facts, logic, and evidence will not budge an opinion glued in the mind with only a drop of emotion.

Skin color is, literally, only skin deep, making it the second most shallow human attribute. Only people who judge others by their skin color are more shallow.

In case you forgot: We live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. Where octopuses dream. Where elephants return to the bones of their dead family members and stand over them in silence to remember them. Where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. Where flowers bloom. Where crows remember human faces, especially those who were cruel to them, and pass that memory on to their young. Where ants build entire cities. Where cats purr at a frequency that can help us heal. Where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.

This is the way.

A Taoist (me) gives up his seat so a Hasidic couple could sit together. They scoot over so a Muslim mother could sit and nurse her baby, on Easter Sunday. This is my America: people letting people be people.

“We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires, but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of the public schools, and the number of people who can and do read worthwhile books." ~ W. E. B. Du Bois

No amount of money can brighten a dark soul. Many studies show that once we have enough to live a comfortable life, adding more on top of that does very little to increase our happiness. Indeed, the pursuit of endless greed will create a black hole in our soul that no amount of money can ever fill.

It's tough to preach love when so many are unlovable. It's tough to preach peace when so many crave conflict. Still, we must try. Don't be a Gary.
