The Blessing of “different” … (08/18/14)
One of the most potent indicators for how Happy & Peace-full your life is — & how Happy & Peace-full will become — hinges on how courageously & how gently you reach out to strangers, especially those who are quite different from yourself; especially those you find to be “weird” or “strange” or “odd”; especially those who are so different you can’t help but feel uncomfortable and want to pass them by as quickly as possible.
And yet despite this understandable uncertainty & this reasonable fear, these folks are not your enemies, my Friends … For, if you have but the courage to open up to them without reservation, it is actually these very people who will prove to be your life’s greatest Blessings.
So please, go forth today and act accordingly … Thank you.
