I find it funny how the topic of the week seems to be the message of the week and the lesson of the week too don't ya think…..I’m not saying but I’m just
saying…..lol
So as we continue our discussion this week the topic this week is
WHAT YOU DO AFFECTS YOUR CHARACTER
For me this is really easy. its about what are you doing when you think No one is
watching. How do you act when you have no real vested interest in the outcome.
This is a time when a person's true character is revealed. Are you going to do
what is right or what you feel like doing. Sometimes...in fact most of the time
The right thing is not the popular thing.
Some people do what is right while everyone is watching but behind closed doors they are the Meanest person you can Imagine...this is what Im talking about. sad but
true. and we are always so surprised when the truth comes out...wow I never
thought this person could be like that but you can't hide who you are from the
world forever.
But enough about the negative stuff lets move on to the POSITIVE STUFF. If you truly
want to see how what you do has a POSITIVE EFFECT on your character and I dare
say your world around you DO THIS EXPERIMENT Do an Act of random kindness for
someone during your day. Just one moment EVERY DAY of helping your fellow man
FOR NO REASON AT ALL. I mean not because you want a reward for it, or something
in return. think of it as Paying forward. being kind to someone for no apparent
reason. Knowing that as you do this eventually this positive energy will come
back to you. It also makes you a more grounded person and a deeper person
because you are more grounded hey I just thought of that that was kinda cool
your a deep person because you are a grounded person…That could be a whole new
topic uh.
The result is Your character will Improve you will begin to value doing the right
thing. The compassionate thing. you begin to see the Love and Beauty of the
world around you instead of the Negativity. As you begin to see less negativity
you act less negative. What a Concept right. To me this is what walking in the
present moment is all about. Being able to stay true to yourself no matter what
the situation is. Now does that mean that every moment of every day is going to
be the best ever and everything is going to come up the best possible way… And
Everything will come up roses and butterflies..uuurrrrhhhmmm NO. But I am going to remind you that. NEGATIVITY in the world has power over us only when we give our power away. we can choose to be positive in the worst Environment in the
world….or we can choose to be negative in the most positive environment in the
world. We express our character….we share our character with the world but our
actions Its kinda like two sides of the same coin. they both have an affect on
the other. what kind of affect it has is up to us as individuals isn’t it.
Which brings me back to my challenge to you as an individual. If you are reading this I challenge you to try this Pay forward thing. Do one act of random kindness
each day for say 30 days. It doesn’t matter what it is. The only rule is you have
to do it just for the sake of doing it. Not because you want a reward. Do this
for thirty days and see if it doesn’t completely change your outlook on life . I
am confident that you will agree what you do does indeed affect your character
As Always I hope this Helps You as much as it helps me because I get so much out of doing this I hope you know that. I dare say they are getting more and more fun to do .....So goodbye until next week everyone
LOVE AND LIGHT
