You Are More Than You Believe

Best of Friends by Pauline DeForest

As you may know Winnie the Pooh is one of my favorite characters. The woods the Pooh explores are like the woods I knew as a kid. His adventures bring us back to a more basic way of life…the peace, tranquility, love and harmony, as in the above picture. Pooh would not be out of place in the picture.

So a Winnie the Pooh quote became almost mandatory for today.

I hope you enjoy.

Inspirational Quote of the Day
“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Souce: Christopher Robin to Pooh” from Winnie the Pooh

You Are More Than You Believe

What you see when you walk by someone hardly defines what lies beneath. Our physical manifestation is like the tip of the iceberg; not our entire being.

Remember that the next time you judge someone else. Don’t make judgments based on the 10% that is visible. You may not know what lies beneath.

Just as an example: Yesterday as I waited in line at the grocery store, I noticed the fellow in front of me who obviously lacked the means to buy much. He purchased two small bananas which he got for just under a dollar. Later in the parking lot the same fellow approached me and asked if he could put back my cart for me…that way he would get the dollar in the cart. I explain that I had purchased a fake coin through a charity so I didn’t have any money in the cart. He nodded and walked off before I could say anything more, but I wanted to give him something. I noticed other people in the parking lot shying away from him and wouldn’t talk to him.

So when he approached near by I called him over and gave him Brand Cialis 2 bucks.

At which point he blessed me and told me as long as I didn’t commit murder for the rest of my life he would make sure I was looked after. He explained that he was a member of a secret society. He had a twinkle in his eye as he told me that. I thanked him for his blessing. Then he said he had special powers and that he would pray for my safety. At this I laughed and thanked him again and said that was a pretty good exchange for 2 bucks.

As I climbed into my car I saw him heading back into the grocery story to get himself more bananas.

The point is I didn`t judge him as offensive or dangerous and because I didn`t do that we both enjoyed an exchange that benefited both of us.

I left saying a prayer for him, that he finds all the abundance he needs in his life, and with a new appreciation of the abundance in mine.

You are more than you believe you are, and so is everyone else
