of all 

the tomorrows 

are in the 

seeds of today.” 

.

~ Proverbs 

.

 Bloom, 

look good, 

smell sweet, attract a mate 

 and know that tomorrow you will fade 

 and your legacy will be in the seeds 

 you have left behind. 

 Whether they are your own seeds 

or the seeds of others that God gave to you to nurture 

does not really matter, what counts the most is that 

 you do the next right thing to make God's world 

 a better place for all. 

 Teach, preach, set and example. inspire or motivate, 

do your best to have tomorrows seeds grow and bloom 

in a garden that is full of beauty and love.  

Happiness is knowing that you are the bearer of good seeds.

Do Right

“You cannot 

make yourself 

feel something 

you do not feel, 

but you can 

make yourself 

do right 

in spite of your feelings.” 

.

~Pearl S. Buck 

.

 Don't know what you feel, 

don't know how to feel, 

 that is not an excuse for not doing the next right thing. 

 Practice patience, slow down, quiet the noisy mind, 

 learn to listen, do not think about what you are going to say 

 while someone else is talking, take a deep breath and wait 

 for the feeling to arise from deep within your soul. 

 Today, to do right is to do the will of your loving Higher Power. 

 God's will is for us all is to be kind, be loving, 

be patient and tolerant, be forgiving and to do right. 

 Happiness is doing right in spite of our feelings.

how much you give, 

but how much you 

have left over 

after giving 

that God counts" 

.

~ Godwin Penrhyn-Lowe

 Still giving. 

 Not just because it is the season, 

 but because it is the reason. 

 It is the thought that counts. 

 When you give of yourself you are validating that you

 are the person God wants you to be.

 Enough is in the eyes of the child who has been taught kindness and love.

Routine

"The less routine 

the more life. " 

Amos Bronson Alcott 

 Bad habit, rut, routine 

or just a simple 

 obsessive compulsive behavior 

can wring the life out of the soul. 

 What is simple minded about 

a mindless routine is that it is

 often done without feeling. 

 Today, rely on the Spirit of the Universe 

to give you the intuitive understanding 

to avoid the mindless routine and 

negative feelings that are a cancer

 to your soul. 

 Today, even if it is a routine, 

do it with feeling. 

 Today, most importantly,

 do what you do from the heart, 

 with good, kind, loving and caring feelings. 

 Today, get out of the rut, 

think outside of the box, look for God 

to give you the chance to be kind, 

 to be patient and tolerant, to share the love

 and to make this world a better place for all.

The Possible

"The

Possible's

slow

fuse

is lit

By

the

Imagination."

~ Emily Dickinson


If it has a name that means some body has

done that or thought of that.

promotes kindness and love, helps people become

more patient and tolerant, helps to make this world

a better place, imagine that.

Today, create the thought, the word, the name

that will signal the beginning of world peace.

Retribution

"An

eye

for

an

eye

makes

the

whole

world

blind." ~ Mahatma Gandhi



Retribution is payment for both good and bad,

but what about the accidents?

Could the accident have been prevented or was the

action premeditated??

People, places and things in your life will be better

if you seek the better and the accidents will occur

less frequently.

Keep kindness and love in your heart, practice patience

and tolerance and you will not have as many accidents.

It is no accident when you are doing the will of your

Clockmaker

"I

cannot

imagine

how the

clockwork

of the

universe

can exist

without

a clockmaker." ~ Voltaire


There is a God today, and it is not you.

Don't worry, be happy, take, make, do whatever

you can to have this life be the best there ever was.

The only thing standing between having a great day

and having a lousy day is your attitude.

People, places and things will try to waste your time,

God will give you the chances, the choices are yours.

Today, be God's Timex, take the beating

and just keep on ticking.

Today, forgive and forget, get on with your life,

make this a day in which your efforts will make

the Clockmakers world hum like Rolex.

Today, avoid the cuckoo, unless you enjoy having

God pull your chains.

Remember, kindness and love are great time keepers.

Happiness is being on time to do God's will.

Charity

"Flatter

not thyself

in thy

faith in God

if thou hast

not charity

for thy

neighbor." ~ Francis Quarles


Faith without action is dead.

God has made this world reciprocal:

you give, you get;

you get and you share what you get,

and you will receive more.

Good alone is selfish, self-centered, smug,

complacent, grandiose, self-flattering and mean.

Have faith, God was wise to make us feel better

only by sharing the good.


Charity begins at home, a good place to practice, but

it lives on in the works that do the will of a loving God,

a Higher Power of your understanding, your acts of

random kindness and unconditional love.

Happiness is knowing that charity is from the heart.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Mass Motivated

"Am I

motivated

by what

I

really want

out of life --

or am

I

mass-motivated?"

~ Earl Nightingale


Are you trying to keep up with the Joneses ??

Do you believe those really stupid advertisements

you are bombarded with daily ??

Do you believe what your family and friends tell you

is the whole truth and nothing but the truth ??

Do you believe that what the teacher, the preacher,

the baker, the candlestick maker or the Indian chief,

told you was the last word from God ???

Don't believe.

Today, KNOW in your heart that you are being motivated

by the needs, not the wants, of doing the will of your

Higher Power, the loving God of your understanding.

Know that you are going to leave this earth with exactly

what you had when you arrived.

Happiness is being motivated by true and pure love.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Pessimist/Optimist

"Don't ever

become

a pessimist...

a pessimist

is correct

more often

than an

optimist,

but an optimist

has more fun,

and neither can stop the march of events." ~ Robert A. Heinlein


Today, have fun, know that God's will is kindness, love

and a march of events that will make every soul better

for God having put us on this Earth.

Today, a wish for better, a hope for better, a prayer for

the better will only become better if you work for better.

Work at smiling, hugging, speaking optimistic words

and being the happy person God wants you to be.

Today, have balance in your life, good/evil, real/fantasy,

yin/yang, darkness/light, chocolate/vanilla, and of course

pessimist/optimist.

Happiness is having a Higher Power that is good, real,

and optimistic.

Strength and Courage

"To love

someone deeply

gives you

strength.

Being loved by

someone deeply

gives you

courage."

~ Lao-Tzu


To love and be loved is very easy

when there are no expectations.

Self love, family love, friends love, people love, pets love,

God love, they all matter and when you put them all

together they make for a very happy, joyous and free life.

Ask your Higher Power to give you the guidance

to find the balance in your love

Do not love only the healthy and happy, ask God for the

strength to have compassion for the sick and suffering,

learn to know tough love.

Do not seek to have everyone love you,

have the courage to accept rejection.

Happiness is the strength and courage to love and be loved.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
