Day 2203: Giving Time

Your time is the best gift you can give people – that’s what I keep being reminded of.

It’s 10 : 25 AM on day 2203 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign –raised $7 675 only $4 825 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

Today I was reminded that time is the best gift you can give people because when you give people your time you give them a chunk of your life you’ll never get back.

To be trusted is the greatest compliment of all – that’s what I’ve realized.

It’s 12 : 11 PM on day 2079 of my journey towards independence and I managed to have breakfast, pray, read Proverbs 13: 11, learn one new thing – The process from egg to butterfly is weather dependent and also depends on the regional climate. It can take about four weeks in the peak of the summer in warmer climates. The egg takes 5 to 10 days, the larva/caterpillar and pupa/chrysalis each take about 10 to 14 days. – and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 774 only $476 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ).

Know who you are and stick to it – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12 : 30 PM on day 2077 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Matthew 23: 12, have breakfast, learn one new thing – Most Caucasian babies are born with dark blue eyes and their true eye colour — be it brown, green, hazel or blue — may not reveal itself for a few months. The colour of your baby’s eyes in the first minutes after birth won’t last — exposure to light changes a baby’s initial eye colour. – and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 774 only $476 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 )

Today I realized yet again that no matter what people say about me (good, bad or indifferent) my opinion of myself will never change I believe it’s important to have a consistent opinion of oneself in a world where people’s opinions about you change at the drop of a hat.

Lift people up– that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12 : 27 AM on day 2071 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, watch the Expresso Show – Catherine Constantinides was a guest on the show (she is the only reason I watch anything these days (like no joke) – learn one new thing – There are about 169 volcanoes in the United States that scientists consider active.

2 Replies

You can’t change people you can change the way you treat them and hope that that inspires them to change the way they treat you – that’s what I realized today.

It’s 11 : 19 AM on day 2068 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Proverbs 7, have breakfast, learn one new thing –6 The 6-year-old child typically has a 2,600 word expressive vocabulary (words he or she says), and a receptive vocabulary (words he or she understands) of 20,000–24,000 words. 12 By the time a child is 12 years old, he/she will understand (have a receptive vocabulary) of about 50,000 words.– and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 724 only $526 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂)

Today I realized that you can’t change people you can change the way you treat them and hope that that inspires them to change the way they treat you so often in life we try to change people when we should be trying to change ourselves because truly the only person each of us will ever control is ourselves.

Yesterday we – my family and I – attended a church service conducted by an Indian priest and much like in the Catholic church towards the end of the service we gave each other peace I wonder what would happen if we had inner-peace and gave it to those who didn’t in our daily lives (maybe not by going to each person and offering them peace as you would in a church but by simply being peaceful) I think the world would be a more peaceful place. Give peace to others by simply being peaceful.

The most important things are not things they’re people – that’s what I keep realizing.

Day 1957: Karma and Us

Leave a reply

How people treat you is their karma how you treat them is yours – words I try to live by.

It’s 12 : 11 PM on day 1957 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Ephesians 4, learn one new thing –Jonas Salk. Jonas Edward Salk (October 28, 1914 – June 23, 1995) was an American medical researcher and virologist. He discovered and developed the first successful inactivated polio vaccine. He was born in New York City to Jewish parents.- have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – yesterday Nancy donated $25 and today Rema aunty donated $25 (thanks SO MUCH Nancy and Rema aunty your ongoing support means the world to me ) which brings my total raised to $1 170 only $5 080 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ) .

A while ago I read something like how people treat you is their karma how you treat them is yours now every time I find myself in an unpleasant interaction with someone I try to remember those words it really helps me keep my self-control (that and bless those who curse you works really well).

Day 1956: Let people go

Leave a reply

If people want to go you can’t make them stay and if they don’t want to go you can’t make them leave – that’s what I’ve realized recently.

It’s 11 : 38 AM on day 1956 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Ephesians 3, learn one new thing –Cashmere wool, usually simply known as cashmere, is a fiber obtained from Cashmere goats and other types of goat. Common usage defines the fiber as a wool but in fact it is a hair, and this is what gives it its unique characteristics as compared to sheep’s wool.– have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – $1 120 raised so far so grateful .

Recently I’ve realized if people want to go you can’t make them stay and if they don’t want to go you can’t make them leave often in life we try to keep people in our lives who really don’t want to be there but the truth is if people want to leave you can’t build a wall high enough to make them stay and besides trust me if people don’t want to be in your life then you don’t want them in your life it’s a recipe for misery.
