Soft, Supple and Sustainable?





“Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail.”

~ Lao-tzu

Feelings and Rights



Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.

Challenge


“Believe nothing.
No matter where you read it,
Or who said it,
Even if I have said it,
Unless it agrees with your own reason
And your own common sense.”

The Buddha

Davids and Goliaths


David and Goliath

It just takes a tiny dot to stop a sentence.
And there will always be 'David and Goliath' situations.
Will we have the courage of David?
Have we identified the 'Goliaths' we have to face?
And what are we going to sling at our 'Goliaths'?

Most of us are travelling without a destination...
Do we really know where we are heading?
