a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

What Do You Believe?

We are, or should be, driven by curiosity.
  Our innate inquisitiveness should be the force behind all our learning as we seek to understand the people, policies, or parables we deal with each day.
  How often do you ask yourself why, or how?
  Do you accept the explanations, excuses, or rationalizations provided? What about those you tell yourself?
  Sometimes we don’t ask the right questions, or any at all. Often the reasons seem logical enough, adequate, or simply palatable at the time or in the moment.
  Maybe it’s just the answer we want to hear.
  We should know the difference, or try to learn. It’s not always what you believe, but whom you believe.
