Friendship, family, acts of generosity and self-sacrifice. Affecting the life of even one person in a positive way, we make a difference in the world!

I am often reminded of my May first video, when I showed the difference Doc McCracken made, a country doctor during the depression, how his life made a difference for the good of so many people!

I suspect we all know the feeling of being a supporting actor in other peoples lives. A friend is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer and we visit her, drive her to an appointment.

Her life is a drama, life or death struggle. We are in the background, doing what we can to make things turn out well.

We have two worlds, a world that honors people for being attractive and productive. It’s a world that reveres winners and scorns losers.               

Fortunately, there is a another world, it’s heroes are models of compassion rather than competition.

In that world you win through sacrifice and self-restraint. You win by helping your neighbor and sharing with him rather than by finding his weakness and defeating him.

When I was young I spent energy devoted to getting and spending. My world now seems like a mirror image of my first world, now a world where old people are respected for their wisdom and experience, as were old ideas and old values.

A world where people are described as “beautiful” because they exude compassion and generosity rather than wealth and glamour. Success has a very different meaning here!

As I grew older, I came to admire kind people!! The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed a-non-a-musly. If I affect the world in some small but real way, this shows my life matters.

We don’t have to find the cure for cancer, we only have to share our lives with other people.

“Few of us can do great things, but all of us can do small things with love!
