“It
is a wise person who does not grieve for things she/he has not, but rejoices
for those things she/he does have especially friendship, family, and purpose.”
– Inspired by Epictetus.
No,
we’re not that well educated that we actually knew this on our own. This came
to us this week in a Thanksgiving Day card from Theo St. Francis and his family
Susan, Ray and Adrian (Learn more about Theo by Googling his name).
Theo’s
brother Adrian is a multi-faceted artist and the card we got was created by him
and included the quote above.
We
are reminded that in this age of self-absorption that the truly important
qualities in life are not how fast we swim nor how well we coach; rather the
impact we each have on our surrounding circles is what is vastly more
significant.
We
ask each of you to make a positive impact on someone today as you move through
your routines. When you smile at a person you are connecting with, watch the
gratefulness play out over their countenance. When you see this you will know
you made a difference.
Whatever
it is you want in life – give it away, for free. It will come back to you
tenfold.
Thank
you Adrian. Thank you Theo.
