Do Unto Others


Whatever things you love to be done to you or you expect from others, do same for others also. If you expect people to be honest with you about things and not lie to you for example, be honest with them too.
If you wish you had more.... wish others have more too.
Everybody  expects to be treated well  these days, but we don't want to treat other people just the way we wish to be treated.
How ironic!!!!
We  are always looking forward or expect to be loved but we don't show love to one another or support one another with genuine love. How can we then demand from others what we never give them in return. We complain of the world being evil and unforgiving, when we are the same people who create that world.
We disappoint people who put their trust and confidence in us, we hate the very people who tell us the truth all the time. We don't even want to get closer to people who are nothing like us, people we feel are below us.
We stab people who help us in the back and we do not want to forgive others, and yet we expect to be forgiven when we do wrong

How can we expect the world and our society to be any better if we treat ourselves this way. It is a big shame on us that we have expectations for good things when we ourselves don't meet the same expectations.
Yes, indeed,  life is hard and can be difficult sometimes. But the little good we do for our close family members, friends and strangers can go a long way to make their lives a little bit better. No matter how small.
Let's be mindful that we get the same measure of reward we give others, good or bad.

There is no way we are going to get any reward of good if we have not invested any good in others. And let's not act surprised either if we get bad rewards in return in our lives because we treated others badly.
The law of cause and effect. Don't forget.
Always remember this, what is good goose is good for the gander too.

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...

Be a Generational Thinker

One of the greatest books I have ever read is Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela. In his book he talks about the importance of leadership through sacrifice and having a sense of responsibility to develop others as much as yourself. He is seen as an icon, a leader and a symbol of peace and inspiration, not just to his dear nation of South Africa but to the whole world. But let's ask ourselves here, what really made  Nelson Mandela such a celebrated person around the world???  Sacrifice !!!! His selfless sacrifice and desire to see white and black south Africans live in harmony together in the era of Apartheid took him to prison for 27 years. Even after his release from prison in 1990, he worked together with his haters and political opponents in the spirit of unity so that a nation which was once  divided and segregated white, black people, rich and poor people, educated and uneducated can live together as one people for the sake of his generation and generations y...

Make Kindness A Contagious Act

Mrs. Anderson was driving at  top speed in the wee hours of the night. She had been told her husband had suffered a mild stroke but was in a stable condition now in a hospital in the centre of town. Suddenly, one of her tyres burst out and she stopped to check for herself but she couldn't find anyone to help her do that. So she stood there by her car waiting for a good samaritan to show up and help her out. That's when Joey Monti showed up. He asked if Miss Anderson needed help with her car and she said yes. He helped fixed another tyre into the old lady's car.  Thank you very much young man, I'm Sylvia Anderson. Here's a little token for you for your kindness towards me young man. Joey rejected the puffy envelope from Mrs. Anderson after she had told him where she was going and why. Spread the kindness on another person in my name. Make it contagious. That's all Joey said. She drove a few metres to a restaurant nearby which was still open and sat down. A...
