Food for Thought

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Mother Theresa

In the video, Mr. Barth said that kind words had a ripple effect. When I think about the words I have said to others, some of them were not the most uplifting, but there have been many times that I have complimented someone or said I would listen if they needed someone to talk to. If we all made an effort to use positive words, the so called ripple would eventually come back to ourselves. Being kind does not have to be a huge ordeal, a simple few words of encouragement can make a difference in someone's day. Why should everyone have a sad or sour mood. We can be the change and help others. It is not only the right thing to do, but it will have a positive effect on ourselves also.

Leo Buscaglia
The heart is the place where we live our passions. It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient. There is no point in trying to deceive the heart. It depends upon our honesty for its survival.
Nelson Mandela
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Alice from Alice in Wonderland
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?
