Which beliefs bring out the best in you?
Which beliefs hold you prisoner to yesterday
and limit your options for designing a great future?
Test your beliefs with as much objectivity
as you can bring to the subject.
Be willing to let go of those beliefs
that represent your parents' opinions,
or your communities opinions, rather than your own.
Those beliefs that withstand rigorous testing,
should become the foundation of your being -
your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.

A working definition of Honor is,
"respect or esteem that has been earned."
Contemplate that for a moment.
It would be very special to earn the respect and esteem
of our family, our friends, our co-workers, our community, wouldn't it?

Those who are successful and happy earn their own
self-respect and self-esteem.

remember what the flight attendant says,

as well as physical, well-being.

your family, your friends, and your community
is the example you set, leading a great life that inspires
those around you to emulate your being.

a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and
helps us look above and over
the limiting fence of our own events,

in the midst of a holiday bustle.
If you are attentive,
you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.

but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy,
and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along,
whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship,
or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought

and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same in every country.

while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.
