Thought of the Day–8/26/17

HATE

Thought of the Day—Embracing the destructive emotion of hate for an extended period of time is like inviting a caustic cancer into your heart that destroys from the inside out.  Hate will become a merciless master who will tear away at your freedoms and leave you an empty, bitter shell of a person.  Be a rebel…swim against the current of popular thinking…go against the grain of your natural inclinations and choose to unhate…yep, make it a new thing…

Speak Life

Thought of the Day—Did you know you can change someone’s day with just a word of encouragement? And what’s so exciting is that everyone has this talent!

All you have to do is forget yourself for a brief time, muster up the courage you know you have hidden inside, clear your head, open your heart and speak life to another…

Dark roots

Thought of the Day—Trying to change or sanitize history by physically removing and/or defacing historical monuments or omitting and/or changing historical facts is like bleaching your dark hair blonde; eventually, those dark roots will start popping through again; so it is with history, the truth WILL prevail, even when it is hateful, hurtful or unpopular. The past is the past and you can’t change history, but you CAN help to change someone’s future. Human trafficking is a huge problem around the world; why not take that misspent energy used to remove old monuments and use that same effort to attempt to rescue others who are in their own present day bondage? Leave the old monuments where they stand as a reminder that that is not who we are now; we are or should be better than that. Make a positive difference in someone else’s life instead of smugly bragging about the chaos and destruction you have rained down on others all for the sake of your own selfish ideology… “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana
