Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol IV (Nov 2011 thru Apr 2012)

Being “Crazy-Good” …
(03/05/2012)
There’s so much Wisdom to be gleaned from so many children’s
books, and one of my all-time favorites contains the adventures of Winnie
the Pooh. Ok, most of the characters therein have pretty big hang-ups —
most of them are pretty “dysfunctional”. And yet through it all there is
Pooh, gentle and considerate and Caring.
And maybe that is the greatest Wisdom of all: that if a “bear of little
brain” can “get it” — if Pooh can continue to be Kind to the folks in his life
who are aggressive (Tigger), wimpy (Piglet), obsessively uptight (Rabbit),
depressingly negative (Eyeore) and downright delusional (Christopher
Robin), maybe we can too …
So what do you say?
… Go be “crazy Kind” to someone today!
“Love is taking a few steps
backward — maybe even a few
more than a few — to give way to
the Happiness of the person you
Love … Just because an animal is
large (or mean or greedy or
dishonest) doesn’t mean he
doesn’t want Kindness … A little
consideration, a little thought for
others, really does make all the
difference … You can’t stay in
your corner of the forest waiting
for others to come to you. You
have to go to them sometimes.” ~
inspired by A. A. Milne
