There seems to be this need to always rush, rush, rush to get things done. It’s like we have put ourselves on this deadline and if we don’t reach them, we begin to literally panic! Having witnessed this on several occasions, I have wanted to tell these individuals to “calm down”, “chill out”, “take it easy”, “it won’t be the end of the world if it doesn’t get done in time”. I am not talking about…
Perfection is a mythical idea that does more harm than good to most who strive to attain it. Certainly, there is no harm in working and focusing on being your best. But understand that your best does not need to be perfect. Life is short. Don’t waste it seeking something that will never be found. Instead, be thankful for your accomplishments, show gratitude for all you have achieved, and find happiness in being YOUR best…
You can’t save time in a bottle to use later. Nor can you keep love, kindness, or compassion. They must be shared with others to deliver their value. If you become stingy with them and try to capture them for later, all you have is a bottle filled with air.
They say that character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you. I disagree. Everyone out there has something to share, a gift to pass along, and the ability to touch your heart and soul. We just don’t always have the vision or understanding to recognize what someone else has to offer. But character and faith guide us to treat others with the respect they deserve even when we don’t know the…
You have been placed here with a purpose, as have each of us. And when we work together, we become the puzzle pieces that will fit together to form a beautiful and bountiful future.
Everyone has this superpower. You just need to choose to use it. It will release you from the heavy load you are carrying and touch another’s heart: forgiveness, two gifts, one superpower.
Nothing in this world is perfect, but that is why we all fit in here. Not one of us is perfect either. We are here to learn, grow, and help each other understand that perfection is not necessary. All we need to discover is acceptance and gratitude for who we are and the gifts that we have to share.
Recently there have been multiple cases of hatred towards our fellow human beings. With some the amount of violence shown has been so shocking. You can’t help but think, “What could have been going on in this person’s mind to make them think this was ok?” Disagreeing is one thing but to literally assault someone because they have a completely different point of view is totally wrong! We should not be made to feel bad…
Have you ever heard the term human dignity? Do you know what the root of human dignity is? The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that the dignity of the human person is rooted in his or her creation in the image and likeness of God. Endowed with a spiritual and immortal soul, intelligence and free will, the human person is ordered to God and called in soul and in body to eternal beatitude. How…
Someone recently asked me about my goals for 2020. The question was basically if I had met or would reach my goals considering the year’s challenges. After some consideration, my answer was that I would certainly meet the most essential goal, survival. In challenging times, it can be easy to feel as if we are not making progress. But we need to remember that sometimes goals need to be revisited and revised to meet an…
