You will never walk alone

"When you walk through a storm,
hold your head up high
and don't be afraid of the dark
at the end of a storm is a golden sky
and the sweet silver song of love
walk on through the rain
walk-on through the rain
for your dreams be tossed and blown
walk-on walk on with hope in your heart
and you will never walk alone...
You will never walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
and you will never walk alone
You will ne-ever walk alone..."

the lyrics of a wonderful song,
You may enjoy the song,
especially in the times of this pandemic...

Ali

I think it is easy to love a champion.
But champions like Muhammad Ali are special above the rest I think.
I was reading some really nice quotes from him, I want to share with you:

- Don't count the days, make the days count
- The man who has no imagination has no wings
and a quote that gave me a smile:
- If you ever dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologize :)

I think that in these difficult days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we can pull ourselves quite a bit up on the first quote. Even though we may be locked in our homes, deprived of social contacts, can we still gather enough imagination to make our days count for ourselves or for others?

Few simple ideas:
Reading inspirational books, quotes, essays
Writing something like a poem, a letter to your prime minister
Looking at old pictures and write something about them to share with your loved ones,
phone a lonely person ,... and so many other potential creative things we can do.

And PS: let us not forget to make it on and off silent in our mind and
say thanks for the peace, love, our senses and all we have.

I have also a collection of short essays on good things. Sometimes we want more than a quote but not a very long text either. Can access them by clicking https://abcofvirtues.blogspot.com/

Changing the world

The world is changing continuously.
And each of us is contributing to that change.

Whenever we think a positive thought
whenever we help someone, give something,
deliver some service, share a smile or a joke,
share a motivating or inspiring thought,
we make a positive change in the world and add to the positivity.

Whenever we think a negative thought,
whenever we push someone down, steal something,
whenever we talk harshly or sarcastically,
demotivate someone or depress,
we make a negative change in the world and add to the negativity.

Nobody, I think, manages to contribute on the same side (+ or -) all the time.
But the balance is what makes the real difference.
When I am positive more than negative, my balance tilts towards +
and my life contributes to happiness in the world.
If my balance tilts the other way, I will contribute to suffering the world.

Let us each commit to make our balance tilt.
Let it tilt heavily towards +.
Especially in these difficult times of COVID-19!
As long as we can, let us tilt our balance actively.

Gifts: from big to small

The biggest gift is love, 

kindness and compassion

Then we get the relaxation 

brought through peace and beauty

And also a wonderful gift 

but smaller than the above: possession

Size matters! 

Maybe not the physical size, but the size of its value to us as human beings.
