It Only Takes a Split Second…

“It only takes a split second to smile and forget, yet to someone that needed it, it can last a lifetime. We should all smile more often.” ― Steve Maraboli, acclaimed business trainer, speaker, best-selling author, radio show host, and philanthropist

How could someone forget their anger, sadness, frustration in a split second?  And then I got it.

You can.

We have a tendency to mull over life’s miseries and failures.  We allow ourselves to wallow in pain and hatred.  Our happiness, successes take second place and then become fleeting experiences.

It’s like someone who makes a lousy-tasting chicken soup, beats herself up over it and gripes about it an entire day…while it only takes that one split second for someone else to think of it as a lesson to make better soup next time. 

We all need that paradigm shift…make that huge leap of mind…and practice to respond in split seconds. J

The End?

As wars break out,

The sun rises, it sets.

As nature breaks down,

We breathe in, out.

As poverty goes up,

The sun rises, it sets.

As illnesses spread out,

We breathe in, out.

The world (as we know it!) is coming to an end, and we sadly, play the biggest part in its destruction. To those who initiate it, you can be defiant and continue on your path of destruction, but you know you will lose in the end.  To those who are ignorant, wake up and look around.  To those who decide to sit on the fence, well, shame on you.

Yes, the sun continues to rise and set and we continue to live...why bother?  Well, then, wait until it strikes you.
