The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was here, there, and everywhere as weather swirls and gets ready for the tumultuous season change. Temperatures will go up and down as the climate decides how to proceed with chaotic logic. Perhaps a butterfly in China is flapping its wings as we speak.
I was reading through some posts on social media today and stopped at one in particular. The post was simple “Inspiration Quote or some BS”. I smiled for a moment, then laughed, then thought about it a little more.
A song spoke an inspiration once:
Tis a lesson you should heed–
Try again;
If at first you don’t succeed,
Try again.
Then your courage should appear;
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear,
Try again.
Once or twice though you should fail,
If you would at last prevail,
Try again.
If we strive, ’tis no disgrace
Though we did not win the race–
What should you do in that case?
Try again.
If you find your task is hard.
Try again;
Time will bring you your reward,
Try again;
All that other folk can do,
Why with patience should not you?
Only keep this rule in view,
Try again.
That is just a little inspiration, and perhaps some BS, but maybe then we have:
A positive mindset brings positive things.
and
Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.
and
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
and dozens upon hundreds, of thousands more.
To me the key is that one person uplifted is worth more than enough. One person brought down is a waste of all that could be. No fair huh? Just food for thought.
So as the sun sets on another day, each day is a chance to be something more. Each moment a challenge to the world, each phrase something that can inspire of degrade. What do you stand for? How can we all lift each other up instead of annihilating the positivity that can be? Find a way, but if you fail, always rise once again ready for more.
Sleep sweet, love with a passion that defines reality, and smile a little if you can…
