As the saying goes, "success is the best revenge" (anon)


Think about it, what good can possibly come from
wanting, thinking about or trying to get revenge?


The focus and the amount of energy that wanting and/or
seeking revenge means adds up to a lot of loss to anyone
wrapped up in it.


Use your energy and your time for you and for positive
things in your life. Each one of us is wronged now and
again. Sometimes others really do hurtful, mean things
on purpose. Don't stoop that low.


Remember, "success is the best revenge" and refuse
to put your energy, thoughts, resources and time into
anything having to do with revenge.


Revenge is a no win situation. If you think about it in
terms of karma it is way better to cut your losses and
turn the other cheek. In turning the other cheek though,
don't hang around so that the same person (or group etc)
gets to go at your other cheek.


Know that it is through your boundaries you can protect
yourself from those who would seek to harm you, generally,
or by way of revenge.


Run your own race. Plant positive seeds. There will be such
peace in knowing that you reap what you sow, when you
refuse to sow negative/hurtful seeds.


The best revenge is to not take revenge. The best revenge is
living well and taking care of yourself. Pursue your dreams.
Rise above all the petty drama in life. Sadly, there is tons
of it. Let your hurt teach you to be a better person.


The best revenge is no revenge. "success is the best revenge".

                      SOUL'S THOUGHT OF THE DAY
                    
               Volume 4 - Issue 9 - # 3/The Way I think...

Thoughts are the scripts by which we feel and act. The
way I think influences how I relate to myself and to others.
The way I think dictates the way I will feel. My perception
of the world is unique.


While we each have our own unique perceptions of things
we must be careful not to allow our thoughts to venture
too far into the convoluted or illogical.


The way I think is the precursor to what I will experience
from others.


I can rise to the challenges of life. I do not have to try to
protect myself from others by thinking in cynical distrusting
ways. What I expect from others is likely what I will
get. Therefore it behooves me to think positively about others.


The way I think lays the foundation for my experience in
life each and every day.

              Volume 4 - Issue 9 - # 4/Time is Precious... 

                      By Ms. A.J. Mahari (aka soul)

Time is precious. Why then do we live our lives like we
have all the time in the world?


We have finite time. Obstacles, challenges, problems
and moods all get in the way of our making the
maximum use of our time all-too-often.


With the up-coming one year anniversary of 9/11,
time seems to cry out to us to heed its importance.
The importance of every single minute of our lives.


Time marches on, whether we are with it or not.
Time's most precious gift is using it wisely.


It is up to each of us to decide just what the
"wise" usage of our precious time really is.


Think about - are you waisting too much time?
