I've often said that it's not what you say, but how you say it that turns the switch from "off" to "on." Although the quote has only 42 words, it has captured the imagination of millions of people around the world.
A fox, a wolf, and a bear went hunting and each got a deer. A discussion followed about how they should divide the spoils.
I once heard someone say, "If you teach your child the Golden Rule, you will have left them an incalculable estate." Truer words were never spoken.
More than anything, the Golden Rule is about kindness. As Mother Teresa said, "It's the only language that we all understand." John Blumberg, author, speaker and friend, recently told me a story that I'd like to share with you...
Not long ago, I finally told the story of when, at the age of twenty-three, homeless and scared, I was given guidance in a most unusual fashion by an old man named Jones. I remember completing the manuscript for The Noticer and being somewhat troubled by the fact that there were so many incredible moments with Jones that I hadn't been able to include. After all, he'd done nothing less than change absolutely everything about my life and future. I needn't have worried. The conversation I am about to reveal deserved a book of its own anyway…
Packed with creative prompts, wacky ideas, and hip crafts/activities, this is the ultimate happy-making pick-me-up.
