Sparks 10

I like this quote so much, because it has  a few important messages:

  • Sometimes looking back it a good thing, because only then you can see what a long way you managed. Often we think we don’t make any progress while we are at it, and we are absolutely wrong.
  • Look in the direction where you are going. Life moves forward, so look ahead most of the time.
  • Finding the a good balance between looking back and looking forward is important. Looking back too often keeps you from going forward, never looking back means you are missing an opportunity to be proud of your achievements. As Kierkegaard said “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”
  • Never stop going, it will make your next look back such a wonderful sight!

Basically it’s all about making the world a better place by spreading positive thoughts. This is my contribution.

DARE TO BE

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When times are tough, dare to be tougher.
When love hurts you, dare to love again.
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.
When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.
Dare to be the best you can –
At all times, Dare to be!”
― Steve MaraboliLife, the Truth, and Being Free

When I read this for the first time, I was very impressed, but my next thought was: “That’s a lot to do. I have no superpowers!”
I read it again and noticed that some things are really easy to do. My favourite line, because I know I can do this, is “When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile”. I will start with this, and see what else I can come up with later. And maybe at the end of the day I there will be a little less darkness in the world.

This story has two meanings to me. The first is obvious and says “Ignore the negative thoughts of other people, when you really want something.” We all know from experience this is true.

But there is another thing. BE NOT LIKE THE OTHER FROGS! If another person tells you about a dream or goal, be positive and supportive. Not everybody is deaf, or can block out negative thoughts. Be the reason somebody reaches the top of a tree!
