Keep the Sense of Gravity
I picked up a few sayings which very much resonated with me today.
Sayings such as:
“You may not always be called upon to be successful, but you will always be called upon to be trustworthy.” Mother Teresa.
Another very reflective one:
“The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.” Norman Vincent Peale.
I take a special liking to this one:
“You cannot build a reputation on what you are going to do.” Henry Ford.
Corrado and I went for a brisk walk as it felt as if winter had finally set. In. I talked to him about the importance of flexibility, and presented this one: “A tree that bends with the wind doesn’t break!” It was a version of what Confucius once said. I can’t quite remember what Corrado and I were speaking about when mention of that one came about.
As we trekked along Yonge Street, the actual wind was quite strong when not near a building. Certainly one has to be firm and grounded in goodness in order not to be blown way. My scarf was rather up in the air, tossing about, but I kept my gravity.
May the Source be with you!
