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.

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

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

in the midst of a holiday bustle.

Every compassionate act makes large the world.

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.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

and allow communion with the One.
