"We are the guardians of generations
that will follow in our footsteps
- let us ensure that we are fit to lead them."
- let us ensure that we are fit to lead them."
Today, as the last day of 2012, it's time to reflect on our past and our future. I've heard over the previous few months of the concern for what type of world we are leaving our children.
Perhaps we should be as equally concerned about the examples we are setting for our children concerning integrity, morals, and values.
Perhaps if we, as the guardians of the future, decided to teach our children to feel pride, compassion, concern, and how to care for their fellow human and the earth...
The future will be brighter.
What if we resolute that our footprints are those we would be proud to
have our children follow. Footsteps of making a difference in the world,
and setting an example of taking care of ourselves, so we can take care
of others.
What if we set an example to take action if something is unjust. To
respect differences, and embrace the future with all the possibility of
hope, challenge and excitement, instead of complaining that life isn't
fair or how bad we have it. Perhaps we should no longer live in fear.
But live with gratitude.
Life is all about perspective, and depending upon your view it is
beautiful. We just have to look outside ourselves, and live with health
and passion. With love and concern. With education and growth. With Joy.
Gratitude. Appreciation. Curiosity.
To Your Good Health,
Happiness and Great Success in 2013
Enjoy the Journey!
