TURNING THE BAD TO GOOD

There are those of you out there for whom the past generations have been a disappointment and have passed on a torch to you that was nearly burned out. They could perhaps have done better and made things a lot easier for you. Realize, though, that you still have the power to turn things around. Your parents’ failures do not have to be your failures. Neither do you have to suffer the consequences of their mistakes forever. You have the opportunity now to make things better for those that will be after you.

Henry Ward advises that “We should so live and labor in our times that what came to us as seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom may go to them as fruit. This expresses the true spirit in the love of mankind.”

As the torch handed to us by our forefather’s burns in our hands we should endeavor to hand it to the next generation burning even brighter.

YOU ARE ALL YOU CAN BE. GO ON AND BE IT.

HOW WOULD YOU BE REMEMBERED?

I trust you know many people who are dead and gone but their achievements (whether good or bad) leave after them. We might think that, what we do on earth cease or ends when we are dead and gone but that is never the case.

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The newspaper had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. AM I HERE OR THERE? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read, “Dynamite King Dies.” And also “He was the merchant of death.” This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words “merchant of death,” he asked himself a question, “IS THIS HOW I AM GOING TO BE REMEMBERED?” He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered.

From that day on, he started working towards peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great NOBLE PRIZE.

Alfred Noble determined how he wanted to be remembered after his life on earth. Now I put the question back to you;

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?

WILL YOU BE SPOKEN WELL OF?

WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED WITH LOVE AND RESPECT?

WILL YOU BE MISSED?

Think about this my dear friend because you have the power to determine HOW YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED.

DON’T FOLLOW THE CROWD

Society’s common sense tells us that that is the way to go. Unfortunately, commonsense is not always good sense. It’s just common. If you are a dreamer you cannot afford to work on society’s assumptions and standards. You have to be unique.

For instance, a lot of people have spent anything from 15 to 20 years getting an education so they can have that perfect job and earn a huge salary. Unfortunately for most, the perfect job and the huge earnings never materialize. They only have the long hard years of work and loads of papers with unpronounceable names to show for it.

Most of them have lost touch with the very people they are working so hard to provide for – their husband, wife and children, all because of having to “work hard” for a living. Yet few ask themselves if there is a better way. They blindly follow what they’ve always been taught.

I want to urge you to get up one night and think about your life, wake up one dawn at about 2:00 am and ponder through your life. If you are fulfilled with your achievements and are happy with your life then you are not following the CROWD but if you are not then you are.

Following the crowd will get you no further than the crowd. The people who achieved their dreams stood out of the crowd. My dear friends, to fulfill your aspirations in life you have to think out of the box.

I live you today with one quote from Albert Einstein

“The man who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.”

Much love

Christian Essel.
