At any corner we do find and read wish lists. Each one of us has such a list. I am sure, you too!
Talking about a wish list for the coming new year 2011 I really love to mention at first HEALTH IS WEALTH!
Do I try ignoring financial crises? Of course, not! But sometimes I love to escape from such topics - and, maybe you, my dear reader, too.
Still with me is a flyer, I got of one of my former colleagues, a professor of philosophy at the University of Southeastern Philippines, where I am still teaching German language. I must confess, I like these ten points of a wish list.
1. I will not strike back, if someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind. I will not respond in a like manner.
2. I will ask God to bless my enemy. If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand that this enemy could be a family member, neighbour, co-worker, or a stranger in this country.
3. I will be careful about what I say. I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do not spread gossip.
4. I will go the extra mile. I will find ways to help sharing the burden of my friend.
5. I will forgive. I will forgive any hurts and injuries that come my way.
6. I will do something nice for some one, but I will do it secretly, and not, because this some one demands it from me. I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.
7. I will treat others the way I wish to be treated. I will practice the golden rule "Do unto others as I would have them do unto me" - with every one I encounter.
8. I will raise the spirit of someone disheartened. My smile and my words can make the difference.
9. I will eat less and nurture my body. I will eat only healthy foods.
10. I will grow spiritually. I will spend a litle more time in prayer. I will find a quiet place.
I wish us all a
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND (already now) A HAPPY NEW YEAR! GOD BLESS!
Yes, HAPPY!!! Happiness should be really unending - it has to be sustained. Happiness is a life-saver.
