People die everyday. . .
Sometimes very famous, very influential people
Two such people died on August 31:
Oliver Sacks and Dr. Wayne Dyer.
I’ve read many of Wayne’s books and actually heard him speak once. . .
His message?
Be open
Be forgiving
Be loving
Be Compassionate
“Upon waking, let the words THANK YOU flow from your lips, for this will remind you to begin your day with gratitude and compassion. make it a practice to begin each day by thinking first of someone else and then making a decision to actively do something, anything, that will bring a smile to someone’s face. When you become conscious of wanting to do something kind for another human being, you move into a higher way of being. It takes your thoughts off of yourself and WHAT’s IN IT FOR ME? and puts them on HOW MAY I SERVE? which is precisely how the universal mind we call Tao or God is always operating. When you’re aligned with a compassionate outlook, your entire day will reflect that kind of awareness.
Some suggestions for getting you started: Email a note of appreciation, say a kind word, apologize to an individual you’ve needed to make amends with, pick a few wildflowers and hand them to someone, give away some personal items such as books or jewelry, or send a smile toward someone that might brighten their moment….
–Wayne Dyer in EXCUSES BEGONE!
It’s one thing to Teach the Lesson. . .
It’s quite another to Learn it. . .
and absolutely another to simply
LIVE IT
My personal, favorite take away:
“IF YOU HAVE CHOICE BETWEEN BEING RIGHT OR KIND. . .PICK KIND”
Maybe the best way a person who has impacted us, lives on not so much by remembering their words but by actually living them to our fullest abilities. . .
