Thought for the Day – A New Year
January 4, 2017 by bjcorbin
This weekend (January 1st, 2017) I heard many a person bid good riddance to the year that just passed (2016). No doubt, it was one of the most contentious 12 month periods I’ve experienced in my fifty plus years. But if we want 2017 to be markedly different, we’ll need to handle some things differently. Here are some suggestions:
- Spend more time and energy engaging the people in our community, and less time protesting the things we don’t like.
- Recognize that hating on people that we consider to be “Haters” or “Hateful”, only promotes more hatred.
- Look for things to be inspired by instead of focusing on things to be offended by.
- Find new and better ways to express love and hope, and give less voice to fears and opinions.
- Make a conscious effort to leave things better than we find them.
