Recently during a lengthy phone call a young woman expressed her concerns about how bad things are, about war, the economy, violence and greed, and she told me she dispaired about her future.
During our conversation she had said that she was a Christian and that her religion was the strength in her life.
Back in the mid 70s I was interviewing a 19 year old girl for a clerk position in a collection agency a partner and I owned and to this day I remember this girl telling me that the best part of her life was over, high school. I spent better than an hour trying to convince this girl that there is life after high school, but at the end I didn’t hire her.
Back in the mid 70s when I was in my 20s I didn’t know what else to say , but in the more recent exchange what I said to this young person was, ‘go out and do something for somebody’.
Over the years I’ve learned that whatever we give energy to we create. If we focus on the evils in life we create that reality, if we focus on self alone we see greed everywhere and it’s true, but if we reach out to others and apply our life energy to good we find that heaven awaits us here and now.
My best wishes to you all on this the start of another wonderful day.
