Eyes Readin’!

It seems that often one can tell a lot about the character of another by looking into their eyes – i.e.: it seems one can ascertain whether others are decent, forthright, or of a lesser stock than these enviable qualities by looking into the others' eyes.  As it has long been said, if the eyes are in actuality the window to the soul, I suggest learning to read the eyes of others and staying well-clear of any bad-type folks as best one is able.

Better to Receive than to Give.

Contrary to the old saying regarding the giving of gifts, when it comes to the topic of advice – barring any expertise, it seems it is nearly always a better plan to receive advice than to give it to others.

Practicing Unsaintly Compassion

I ain’t claiming to be no saint or nothing, but…

Compassion seems to be quickly becoming a practice of a by-gone era, if not one of antiquity.  The showing of compassion to others for any outward human frailties and even mistakes of the other – regardless of magnitude, will rarely cause any further injury to anyone.  Conversely, any kindness or compassion displayed to others for whatever the reason will surely enrich those that bring this realm forward through any such practice of displaying it.  There would seem to be no possibility of serious mistakes when practicing in this regard of showing any amount of compassion to others.

Life and Death for the Middle Aged.

If I’m not merely stating the obvious, it seems maybe one of the tricks to life is to deal with living and not to worry about dying.  So, rather than foregoing any day-to-day dealings of life to instead worry about any impending death, maybe we should enjoy the day-to-day dealings of life and not worry about death – within reason, of course.  This obviously would make since when phrased as ‘why take any time given to oneself and waste that time worrying about when there is to be no more time’ – at least as far as anyone can verify and regardless of whether such a phrase concerning ‘no more time’ is definitively or inherently accurate, which would be somewhat irrelevant to my point.  With the point of this blog entry again being to enjoy life and living and don’t unnecessarily waste valuable time worrying about death and dying, particularly not to be worrying about one’s own death.  In my opinion, we would be better served to endeavor towards productive goals with our time and preferably through pastimes that we enjoy as well.  I suppose maybe everyone comes to this conclusion to varying degrees, sooner or later.

Goal Setting.

Goal-setting is where it’s at.  Make it a good one for all concerned.
