Some END-OF-THE-DAY questions for you by Veronica Hay

August 27th, 2010 . Posted in Encouraging Quotes, Heartbreak Quotes, Life Qoutes, Motivational Sayings, inspirational motivational | No Comments »
Tags: , , , , ,

Did I make someone giggle, smile or laugh today?

Did I take the time to really listen to someone today, with rapt attention, as if nothing else mattered in that precious moment but the words they spoke and the look in their eyes?

Did I allow myself to focus on all the blessings in my life today instead of contemplating the things I don’t have?

Did I take a moment to imagine what I would like to experience in my life, if for no other reason than in the imagining, is the living, and in the living, comes the joy and delight?

Did I let go today, let go of resentments and unforgivingness that I have been holding onto, all the while realizing that another person may be wounded too and struggling with their own pain?

Did I keep my word today, no matter how simple a promise I may have made, knowing it meant a whole lot to someone else?

Did I make a conscious choice just to be happy today, no matter what is happening in my own life, just for the next moment, and the next moment and the next?

Did I stop caring about what other people think of me, and give myself permission to be who I am regardless of their good opinion of me or not?

Did I set myself free today just by doing that?

Was I successful in noticing and appreciating the bounty before me

wherever I went or was I just too busy or lost in my own thoughts to notice?

Did I contribute something beautiful to the world today?

A new creation of some kind, a poem, a dinner, a dance?

Was I kind today to anyone or anything that crossed my path, no matter how trivial or how monumental? Did I give away my heart?

Is one person richer because of me today, because of my presence on the planet, my essence, my decision to keep on going no matter what?

Did I learn something new today, something about life, something about myself, something about another that I didn’t know before?

Did I let go of my attachment to being right today, and open my mind to the possibility of another way, without judgement?

Will someone sleep better tonight because of me?

Will they awaken in the morning believing in themselves again, and walk with their head held high?

Was I the answer to someone’s prayers today?

If today was to be my last day on the planet, would I feel happy about how I lived it?

Inspirational Words About Kindness

Today, some Inspirational Words About Kindness…

A friend called me recently to tell me that one of her daughter’s teachers had committed suicide. Needless to say, everyone involved was extremely upset and dismayed by this.

Many looked upon this as a very selfish act on the part of the teacher. I thought to myself how quick we are to judge another after the fact, when it is too late. And how terribly slow we are to recognize the walking wounded all around us.

The news of this teacher’s suicide reminded me of a story I read about an elderly woman who had decided to commit suicide one morning, but someone had stopped to feed some pigeons with her in the local park and the kindness of that one stranger changed her mind and saved her life. We never know what is in another person’s heart. What level of pain or anguish they may be going through. And in some cases, their pain may be so great that living no longer seems an option to them.

We may never know the often immense consequences upon another, of an unkind word, a thoughtless deed, or a hasty decision made from an unexamined heart.

Each day, everyone of us, has a new opportunity to make a huge difference in our world. If I had one dream for humanity, it would be that tomorrow morning we would all wake up with amnesia, remembering nothing. We would then see the world for the very first time, with new eyes, the way a new born baby sees it, except that we would now be in a grown up body.

We would have no conception of what was considered to be beautiful or good or important according to society’s ridiculous standard of worth. Every person and everything would be a blessed opportunity for us, just the way they are.

Life would be waiting with another possibility for us to be all that we could be. Another opportunity to practice the gift of kindness in every precious moment. Another chance to rise above our mere mortal existence and for that one grand moment in time to walk among the gods. Another day to love.
