In response to "The Moral Compass"

So very true but unfortunately morals are not something Americans are known for. It's so disheartening!

Beautiful entry and so meaningful!
"No longer in competition and living life simple" and I totally agree!

In response to "Priceless"

Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.

Yeah, there's " No Mr Wizard to fix it!".
Excellent truths on the reality of life. Well written on life truths. I can also relate 😺!

In response to "Growing up"

Agreed. Letting go is the hardest. Second hardest: It ain't fair, and it's not going to be.

In response to "Growing up"

Amazing post.

"Life goes on, long after the joy of living is gone" from Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane".

Yes, I've endured.

And yes, I've run away to survive.

Life goes on.

Hardest lesson? Letting go.

In response to "The ten percent"

Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting you to put God as our business partner at the end. I was too busy getting mad at the man in the story who kept the 100%.
Great story plot, btw. You certainly zeroed in on the man's ingratitude effectively. I guess, we all experience a bit of that ingratitude at one time or another in our lives. A big Ooops!

In response to "Understanding One's Own Self"

I agree the lack of love for ourselves keeps us from being the best we can be.

In response to "Understanding One's Own Self"

So true! You are very courageous to walk away from someone that would probably not be of much help to you in your life.

A RAT STORY

During a study at Harvard in the 1950s, Dr. Curt Richter placed rats in a pool of water to test how long they could tread water.

On average they'd give up and sink after 15 minutes.

But right before they gave up due to exhaustion, the researchers would pluck them out, dry them off, let them rest for a few minutes - and put them back in for a second round.

In this second try - how long do you think they lasted?

Remember - they had just swam until failure only a few short minutes ago...

How long do you think?

Another 15 minutes?

10 minutes?

5 minutes?

No!

60 hours!

That's not an error.

That's right! 60 hours of swimming.

*The conclusion drawn was that since the rats BELIEVED that they would eventually be rescued, they could push their bodies way past what they previously thought impossible.*

*If hope can cause exhausted rats to swim for that long, what could a belief in yourself and your abilities, do for you?*

*Remember what you’re capable of.*
