Quote for the day: “To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.” Brandi Snyder

Happy Friday friends,

How has the first week in October been for you?
My week has been very busy & interesting…new ideas & opportunities, personal growth & learning, decision making and simple appreciation and reflection.

Hopefully you have experienced similar things that lead to a richer, more satisfying and meaningful life.

I’m not one to dwell on negatives but I feel the need to comment on the tragic events that have occurred in Samoa and Sumatra this week. It is very difficult to read about and observe such loss and destruction. So terribly sad and unexplainable, it certainly makes you ask the question “WHY?”
We will never be able to answer that but we must be positive and strong in dealing with this. It’s up to us to turn negatives into positives even when that seems so hard. It would be great if we could instantly fix all of the destruction and saddness but that’s impossible, however I believe as individuals the best thing we can do each and every day is support one another and be the best person we can possibly be. We all have the ability to make a difference in our own special and unique ways. Doing that with love and honesty should be a priority. The communication you share with a person, connection, encouragement, concern, just having a genuine interest in them as indivuals is so important. What about a simple smile or hug…you can never have too much of that!
By simply doing that we’ll be doing good for others and ourselves. That is a gift and more than enough to make a positive and powerful difference.
Are you walking the talk? Are your actions, behaviours, words and thoughts in alignment?

My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the tragedy of the week and all the other saddness that occurs on a daily basis here in Australia and around the world. Unity and love is what’s important when dealing with life’s inevitable challenges.

I thought this would be a suitable quote to share with you all today. Enjoy

“Anyway”

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centred. Love them anyway!

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway!

If you are successful, who will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway!

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway!

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway!

The biggest (person) with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest (people) with the smallest minds. Think big anyway!

People favour underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for some underdogs anyway!

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway!

People really need help, but make attack you if you help them. Help them anyway!

Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you’ve got anyway!
Mother Teresa
