Also HUMBLE THOUGHTS  at www.cafepress.com/humblethoughts

Humility equals wisdom!  Life is not about who has the most toys, or who has the most money. Life is appreciating the simple, loving your friends and family, and doing the very best for your children. It is not the extremes, the right or the left but the grey that keeps us healthy.

Also ranked in the top one hundred of all Best Selling  Motivational books. Thanks to all who have contributed and enjoyed the book. Let us keep helping children. When it is all said and done it will not matter what is in our bank account, but what will matter is whether we changed the life of a child for the better.

It is time to start giving back. To what end do we need to collect items, update electronic toys, and try to inflate self worth with materialistic items? Living life to its fullest means being humble and giving what we can back to those who are less fortunate.

This is my attempt to not only tell my story but to give back financially.We all can make a difference. Stop trying and just go for it.

Thank you, Dan Williams, author.

Remember our roots. ALL of us came from rural settings. At one point if you trace your family tree long enough you will find some relative working the field or blue collar job to help progress the next generation. Those that are moved by the sunset, the solitude of nature, and the serenity of a placid lake while a loon breaks the water’s plane have to be more in touch with something deeper than themselves.

Lay on a blanket on a cool summer night.  View the sky and the multitude of stars, and planets. Even space is being cluttered now with numerous satellites. a reminder of man’s invasion of yet another arena that was once pristine. We are only a humble speck amongst all living creatures.

For myself nature is the, “absolute truth.” Nature will not lie, our woods our streams will be there for us to immerse ourselves in from a total sensory experience and if we so choose a spiritual one.  My dearest best friend gave me a framed blade of grass for Fathers Day. Why? She frequently wants me to meditate on a blade of grass when I stress. It was initially humorous and then became serious. I cherish this gift. It was one of the most thoughtful, dearest gifts I have received. How symbolic. One blade of grass can be so powerful. Sometimes we should re-look at all living relatives, even a blade of grass. One grain of sand, one blade of grass, one leaf are all important creating a whole for us to enjoy.

Frustrations of life continue. Success is measured frequently by how much is in our bank account, the value of our car, and what college our children attend. My son is a doctor, my daughter is going to Harvard, no, mine is going to Princeton, to what end do we become blinded by status and false illusions of power, and money. When was the last time you heard  a  parent brag how their child has such a deep appreciation for the outdoors? Or my child wants to make a difference by giving back to others.

It is time we instill some basic values, and not emotionally whip or children in a direction of status. Those with the most toys in the end does not win! There is no winning and losing in life. There is only living. It depends how happy you want to be while living. Walk barefoot in the grass, feel the breeze carees your face, embrace the simplest virtues around you. They have always been there, but have you always been aware of them ?
