This Christmas/New Year holiday week ended up quite different than past years: not as much family (sickness, moved away, busy or other plans), but giving to others, friends instead! But took worthwhile, slower, reflective time to watch/read some inspiring stories/movies like ‘Door to Door’ ‘Rudy’ ‘Little Boy’ ‘The Dash’ ‘The Ripple Effect’.
“We make a living from what we Get … we make a life from what we Give!” (from ‘The Secret to Living is Giving’ by BJ Gallagher & Mac Anderson). I see the laws, principles, etc all around me: Substitution, Relaxation, Dual Thought, Growth, Forgiveness!!!
“…If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true & real…And be less quick to anger, & show appreciation more… If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile…remembering that this special dash (between birth & depart dates) might only last a little while… would you/I be proud of the things they say about how you/I spent our dash?” (poem by Linda Ellis)
“Have I done EVERYTHING I can possibly do?” (movie ‘Rudy’)
This week’s Haanel’s focus was on the concept, Harmony! A wonderful thought, yet a compellingly hard to grasp. I’m warming up to the idea of being in accord, Musically ‘concordant’, agreement in feeling/approach/action, sympathy, pleasing sounds played simultaneously. Sounds like our Mastermind Alliances to me!
Learning HARMONY is another theme for 2016!

Great thoughts. Harmony is something that is so foreign to us in today’s fast paced society. I am glad you had the time to kick back and relax. Love the post. Thanks for sharing.
