We harmonize with the pathways that we encounter while we are en route with our own lives. Rather than results based on other's peace is the ultimate regard of sincerity. A negative will never equate to a positive no matter how you bend it. That's the logical side of life and what we allow in and what and whom we decide by way of choice. As each and every one of us is in some manner connected. Life has a way of just moving about in some direction to surround yourself with the authentic people that are valued friends are the ones that will assist in life in an unconditional manner. I do believe there is value at any stage of life in the tolerance to know what I do is in the best meaning and fashion. In my life itself and as well with people those are right here on this blog.
I view life as a sculpture of my own making. An understanding from within and perhaps it resides within of each and every one of us in our own style. It’s just there and some utilize it and some don’t. And some do in a tremendous manner without even realizing it. They move in a manner that is with two things in consideration. Hold onto the things that are precious and as well have high regards towards you – that is not arrogance. If it was you would look back at all the things you have done thus far and find that it’s empty.
Everyone is different. However the differences are few. But what I feel is that the real value of an all encompassed life, is one that you that there are people that have the have some effort to write in a value that has some effort. Maybe just maybe some people are more self serving these days for what ever reason that may be - but yet there are much more that are to the contrary of this way of thought.
I do believe that there are true people regardless of what luggage they have handled in life, or what their goals are. A friend can be of any gender, any ethnicity. I guess you call that life on several levels within society. Within the harmony that assists each person is within the good will. As the saying goes, “Do onto other’s as you would wish for them to do onto you”. I think there is merit within that old saying.
Are we all connected, or do we still avoid the connection? I am not sure of that it all depends on people and as we age people become more hesitant in taking the time to understand another. I guess those are my own thoughts, however I do believe in life that there is no room for prejudice. Nor do I think that one person is better than another.
As well these mottos regarding the more you do for other’s the less you place into yourself. I feel that is a contradiction as we utilize both within life. For the one that does not utilize these two areas does not move in life.
We live our lives and we do are best, and at the same time I know that I can try my best at assisting or being friends with others.
Yes it’s just a blog but I think I am speaking more in terms of life it’s self.
I think it's about values.
Jack, let me share this poem with you on life:
ReplyDeleteDo not undermine your worth
by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
that each of us is special.
Do not set your goals
by what other people deem important.
Only you know
what is best for you.
Do not take for granted
the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life,
for without them,
life is meaningless.
Do not let your life
slip through your fingers
by living in the past
nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
you live all the days of your life.
Do not give up
when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over
until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread
that binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances
that we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life
by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love
is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love
is to hold it too tightly.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams
is to be without hope;
To be without hope
is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life
so fast that you forget
not only where you have been,
but also where you are going.
Life is not a race,
but a journey
to be savored
each step of the way.
** To me this says it all!**
Nice smile young man! Was that picture taken yesterday? Then the swelling has really gone away. You will feel great soon. It is nice to see you like that. Very nice blog Jack. Deep thoughts about life. Give all you have for all is given to you, there is a similar saying in the bible isn`t it, about the birds for which all is provided, so why would you as a human being receive less than birds would... If we would all hold onto our qualities or resources how could we share and how would our own needs possibly be fulfilled. Give and take and find balance. Sometimes learning to receive is more difficult than giving however. Again it all comes to balance doesn`t it. A great day to you Jack.
ReplyDeleteThat says so much and I think that there is not one person on within this world that can not relate with that Cyn. With a nice sip of coffee in the "a.m.".
ReplyDeleteDanielle, gosh you really look deeply into things dont you. No the picture was taken in 1900. :)
ReplyDeleteFor some things are difficult is various ways, it's really a simple philosophy. And we all do practice in within each and everyone one of our days. It comes with life for me. Life is balance. I am not sure if this saying came from the bible or not. I just remember the sayings. Thank you Danielle...
You must be feeling better for periods of time since you are writing more. I think as we come to know ourselves better and forgive ourselves our weaknesses, we become more tolerant of others.
ReplyDeleteYes it's cadence, I have been out with some friends and doing the old groceries, and so forth what we all do on a typical sunday. The weather here is rather nice and it's a time to seize the moment as this month is the time to do it. Really what it comes down to is managing the near end of a tooth extraction and the meds that went along with it. But really I think it's about cadence. Still the topic remains the same. And just back home I am finished the laundry so I thought I would get on here for a tad.
ReplyDeleteG'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone possible go wrong if they if they follow this doctrine honestly ......
I just find the older I get the more I like to observe people & their reactions, having learned while we can change our lives, we can't change the world although we can make a difference. Brings to mind another favourite saying of mine, “ Change what you can, accept what you can’t & learn to tell the difference”
That is true wisdom there Wendy and I went upstairs and then down to the basement here and I will be honest, I had several things in mind to write last night after reading some post and for what you did was partially an inspiration of my post. I do believe that so often we do things and yet some do "more talk and less of the walk". As well, I certainly believe in what you say....coming back to this from last night you have to re read over what you wrote but I like that quote of yours of change what you can, and accept what you can't. Any person to is in pursuit of any goal in life, would take note of such a thought. We all learn and that is a continually process. That all said, There is no conclusive, but it's just .................you know what I mean. I know ya do.
ReplyDeleteOne attracts what they put out and also responds to what and whom they surround themselves with. So perhaps the golden rule should be expanded to choosing friends that would do unto others as you'd prefer.
ReplyDeleteI believe we are all connected at some level but socially mankind has been moving away from that concept for hundreds of years. The modern idea that each of us is sovereign is not so much mistaken as flawed for being divisive. Certainly there would be less hostility were everyone to believe it impossible to hurt others without harming ourselves as well. And how much would we benefit from a widespread acceptance of the notion that in lifting another all are raised? Individualism tends to minimize connection and we are far greater linked than simply grouped.
Many deny the bonds between us because they imply responsibility. Most prefer not to be their brother's keeper.
Oh yes, the route to love is in giving it, though gracious acceptance helps considerably.
Hope this makes some sense, as I'm still awakening from a late nap.
Unconditional Love!
I think we are all connected in some way but at different levels and in different ways.
ReplyDeleteAs for our relations with others, I think that we reap what we sow.
We should aim at doing our best, know our weaknesses, forgive ourselves when we err and treat others as we would like them to treat us.
Once again meaning within what this truly to me what this is all about. Liz, you resonate the ideal. We all have our own concept but as well we all have that sphere of which we connect.
ReplyDeleteFor What i know is true is God is the potter that molds us . for me ..peace is living in his will .Christians are told to love one another..and by being in the Lords will that we do..I have so many Bible verses to share that I can relate through Gods truth out of your philosophy..but in the word..here is one of my fav verses that covers some things u spoke about i dont exactly why this particular verse came to mind ..but it did Phillipians 2 reads If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. DO nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should not look only to your own interest , but also to the interest of others..
ReplyDeleteGood morning on one of two last days of healing here from this extraction. That is thought provoking. Individualism and mimimizing - does this not seem to be a trend and why we are connected in a realm as such as this? But the greater the amount of good within a consortium the more impact there is to be made. > Red Cross, United Way, etc., and this is a great write if you just awakened it's really thought provoking in accord with the areas of ethics and morality and as you say Terri - Unconditional Love.
ReplyDeleteGood morning and peace too you.
Very interesting and thank you. For you and many this is the way, but as well there are others that have that choice of another manner. But what ever faith or spiritual manner it takes to consider and nurture life is a great gift. I know what mine is, but the religious aspect of my foundation is a private matter, one that I regard and hold to myself. As you do.
ReplyDeleteThere once was an thought between a friend and mine regarding being Catholic. I asked him how it is that he can go to church every weekend and then see all the people within church and when leaving see that most will go on doing the same old things which I felt were in contradiction to what a house of religion is. He answered, "Jack it's like anything else it's about the person and there manner or practice". And one thing he mentioned was that although he was a devote Catholic (I was raised Catholic), he said most people don't understand that they have to bare there own cross. I found that profound.
I thank you boomshuck............your ethics are high and moral.
