Leaving It All Behind



What are the right ingredients of life? What is it in your life that makes you the best you can be? Do you carry with you daily the qualities that others want you to share with them? Kindness, generosity, compassion and understanding are characteristics that enhance another’s life by reflecting your beliefs while your actions serve to state your commitment to your convictions.



On a recent TV commercial, an ‘organic’ product advertised the wonderful ingredients it contained for its high quality. It then emphasized the types of ingredients it did not contain…artificial ingredients, preservatives and food coloring. Noting this in the advertisement was equally important. In your life, what qualities would you emphasize and what ones would you leave out of the recipe of self? The positive qualities can be boasted but they must be pure and uncontaminated. If there is something that contributes bitterness, it must be removed. Artificial supplements only detract from the quality of self. Preservatives only lengthen the shelf life, not the quality of life. In retrospect, what would you leave behind to improve the quality of your life?
