I believe these "Be" Attitudes are not only a guide to living a Healthy life, but also good forum practice.

I see these qualities in many of you who post and watch some who are lacking them, actually improve as time goes on.cheering

Encourage one another, for this shows LOVE!teddybear

"Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way."

I disagree with this one, HL.

I think we often are so focussed on the destination, we dismiss possibilities without really looking. We focus on the end result, ie. the golden, rosy partnership and assess with little information whether people will fit into our grand design.

We forget that we live and learn with all our friendships whether they are lasting, or brief.

We forget to just enjoy the journey wherever it takes us.

thumbs up I agree with your statement jac, very well put!

The opinion to this depends on how you viewed the statement, doesn't it? jac enlightens us with her view according to her perception of the statement. I like it!

As a truck driver for 25 years, the statement,"Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way," had a different meaning to me.

Some may perceive the statement Spiritually, in which case, another viewpoint would be observed.

I really enjoy us sharing together in the forums! We gain the opportunity of insight from different perspectives!

Please, keep sharing!

Ok, I get the truck driver one, laugh but unless we're talking totally practically here, I still think enjoying the journey holds.

Even from a spritual point of view is anyone clear of their destination? Does one's spirituality not evolve over time?

Oh yes, jac! Enjoying the journey is what it's all about!
Enjoy the Ride!laugh

And as for your last statement..."Does one's spirituality not evolve over time?" ABSOLUTELY!!!yay
I Love that concept!!! That is exactly what happens. Some refer to it as "spiritual growth".

Love you jac!lips

Yes once again I am forced to be in concord with you, our destination is death, so it is better to enjoy and make the most of our journey. After that who knows, but I think it will be a different type of journey, unlike anything we can imagine. Even if there is just nothingness we will arrive at the end of eternity in the twinkling of an eye.

Wasn't that the whole idea of the thread, AA?

To take a concept and throw it open to discussion, different perspectives and create some original thought for each person?

We learn and evolve in increments. The source of inspiration is not so important as where we choose to let it take us.

Where has it taken you?

Be a leader when you see a path others have missed.
Be a follower when you are surrounded by the mists of uncertainty.


erm....don't get these ones mentioned above..

a path others have missed....it means to me that others are in the mist...and since I am leading, I think you say they follow me to the new path..

but, in uncertainty I should follow when surrounded by mist...

who do I follow then? when I am a leading for a new path?

confused

forgive me, I had a rough day.....time for a whiskey and a nap.
maybe I understand this better after a good nights sleep...
