Happy EVERY Day to you!
Posted December 25, 2009
on:While not everyone celebrates in the same way, everyone has some sort of celebration they partake in. I wanted to share this with everyone – I received this in an email today from Dax Moy, author of The Magic Hundred and it is so true!
– All of the holy figures throughout all of the holy books
of all time have shared the exact same qualities:
-
– They all had the ability to love without limit, to share that
love and teach others how to do the same.
– They all had the ability to care beyond reason for all those
who they came into contact with
– They all had the ability to give beyond limits, often giving
away all they had in order to help others
– They all had the ability to believe in something bigger, better
and more powerful than they had actual proof for in their lives
– They all had the ability to stride confidently in the direction
of their biggest dreams, regardless of the ridicule and punishment
often sent upon them by others
– They all had the ability to see fears as nothing more than ‘tests’
as to how much they really believed in their purpose
And by these qualities, holy men, prophets, Messiah and
‘Enlightened Ones’ have changed not only the course of their
own lives but the course of mankind as a whole.
Pretty amazing, don’t you think?
But what’s REALLY amazing is that these qualities are in
each and every one of us has the opportunity to demonstrate
them not just at Christmas or Ramadan or Hanukah but every
day.
– EVERY day we can all show love and teach others to
do the same
– EVERY day we can offer genuine care and concern for
those we come into contact with (as well as those who are
afar)
– EVERY day we can give, no matter how small, to help
others experience life in a better way
– EVERY day we can believe that something better awaits
us rather than getting caught up in the negativity that we
often find ourselves enmeshed in
– EVERY day we can think about, talk about and act upon
our biggest dreams and inspire others to do the same
– EVERY day we can pull apart the fabric of our fears by
doing just one small thing that scares us
– EVERY day we can live out the message that Christmas
and, in fact, every Holy Day (Holiday) is supposed to teach
us.
When you think about it, every day WE have the ability to
do AMAZING things with the power we’ve been given…
…EVERY day!
Thanks, Dax, for sharing that.
