Nothing is more practical than Finding God, that is, than Falling In Love In a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, What seizes your imagination, Will affect everything. It will decide What will get you out of bed in the morning, What you do with your evenings, How you spend your weekends, What you read, who you know, What breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, Stay in love, And it will decide Everything. Attributed to Pedro Arrupe, SJ Fall In Love Today Forever!!! Article: Blame it on Love! |

While observing (or trying to observe) the Original Ten Commandments, you might also want to consider these. Mother Theresa apparently loved them. The Paradoxical Commandments by Dr. Kent M. Keith People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway. |
