Taking The Next Step

After reading literature that helps to inspire and motivate us, it's important to apply what we've learned to our every day life. There are some that meet with others who are liked mind, to discuss the meaning of what they have read but are they spending an equal amount of time demonstrating what they've discussed. Now that we have studied about living a compassionate life, let's put theory into action. Everything we learn makes sense, it's just applying it that takes courage. Today, put down your books and apply what you've learned. Consciously choose one positive behavior or caring word that you can share with someone. By demonstrating what you've read, you are taking the next step towards living a life of true compassion.

There are no words to describe the beauty of nature...

(I tend to be more academic, so reading and studying comes naturally for me. But at one point, I need to close my books and live life. Every thing is theoretical until we actually implement what we have learned. At the end of the day, I ask myself what have I done to make the world a better place. Sometimes I come up with nothing and sometimes I do little things that surprises even myself.)
