Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

 A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Another Monday….

This weekend went by too fast – feels like just 3hrs ago, l was leaving work on a Friday afternoon preparing for a blissful weekend and now, its Monday again. I remember dropping of my sister for a New Year’s event and now we are approaching the middle of January. This year is going to go by very fast – l can feel it. It’s telling me to be as productive as l can be each day because the Year will be over sooner than l think.

I went to this seminar last week called “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. If you haven’t, l highly recommend that you pick up a copy of he’s book – it’s exceedingly informative. This self-help book/manual coaches you on techniques to integrate into your day-to-day activities that overall result in creating a stress-free environment with the goal of maximizing productivity. It’s truly an easy read – don’t be fooled by the number of pages, it’s a small book.

Moving Forward,.. l deliberately decided not to talk about “New Year’s Resolutions” this year because let’s face it… somewhere around this time, people are already falling back on their New Year’s resolution. I’m not trying to be pessimistic but realistic in the sense of the term New Year’s Resolution. This is not a miracle… not an unattainable/unrealistic goal, not an intense objective but to me it’s more like a vow – not something l necessarily plan on changing about myself (that should have started the minute l realized l wanted to change that thing about myself) but something l hope to accomplish this year. In essence, instead of the typical start exercising? More work/life balance? (These are just New Year resolutions l have heard) – on the surface these sound GREAT! However, is this what you think you should be doing or is this others expectations of you? Or is this inspired by a recent read prior to the New Year or Magazine picture/article? Too often, New Year’s resolutions are set honestly by what you think you ought to be doing as opposed to doing something you really want – yay or nay? I have decided to look at Resolutions this year as living my life to the fullest and making confident choices based solely on me EVERYDAY! Another way to look at this is by making – quarterly goals for yourself, if you can’t stray from New Years Resolutions!  I’m forgetting about New Year’s Resolutions moving forward…

Anyway,.. heading back to work – make a small difference today. God Bless!

One day a local evangelist bragged during a crusade that his God was more able than all the other gods in the town and the powers of the universe that the villagers worshiped put together. Just then, rainstorm sounds started sounding overhead, threatening the progress of the crusade. The evangelist lifted up his voice and declared with confidence that if the rains fell, then he wasn't a man of God; he would stop preaching!

Before he could finish his bluff, the rains began to hit the crusade grounds so vehemently, apparently in disregard to his declarations. The whole town left the crusade grounds to their houses, shaking their heads in disappointment and dismay.

The evangelist, so distraught and angry, packed his belongings and left the town the next day. On his way through the next town, he checked into a local drinking spot and drank himself to stupor. As he laid on the ground cursing God, an old seedy looking man tapped him gently on the shoulder.

"Man of God", the old man began. But the evangelist quickly cut in, "don't mention the name of God to me. He is fake. He is unreliable. I am no longer a believer in this God. A God who chooses to disgrace his servants. Leave me alone!"

But the old man would not let him be. He continued,"I am the fetish priest in the village you just preached at. During your one week stay in that village, you destroyed all the charms i had made on the people for 45 years. Your prayers and your words always came with some fearful fire and power. I tried so many times to eliminate you but i couldn't. My last chance came yesterday. I had loaded my gun with gun powder lying wait on the mountaintop where i had a very clear view of you. My plan was to shoot you from a distance since i couldn't get close enough to you due to the fire around you. But just when i lifted the gun, the rains came from nowhere, wetting my gunpowder and covering you in a cloud so that i couldn't even see you. All i saw was a bright man holding a sword in front of you. I was so terrified. I concluded that your God was indeed all powerful and Almighty. That is why i've been looking for you since then. I want to follow this your God!"

The ex-evangelist bowed his head in shame!

Dear friends, sometimes, it is just wise for us to believe that our Father knows the way He is taking us. We should just trust His leading. Let our boast be in the Lord, not in ourselves. If we decree a thing and it doesn't happen, let us not see it as disappointment or dishonor from the Father. Let us just believe that the Father wants his perfect will to be done in all things.

Be inspired.
Have a great day!!!
