Think on these things

By Joyce Sequichie Hifler 

Time has the mischievous way of turning things around - working through our thoughts and beliefs. We never really know what someone else is thinking nor what htey really believe. Good advice to all of us is never to argue about politics or religion, but most of us do it anyway.

Time has the mischievous way of turning things around – working through our thoughts and beliefs. We never really know what someone else is thinking nor what htey really believe. Good advice to all of us is never to argue about politics or religion, but most of us do it anyway.

For the most part we are a race of pretenders acting out what others think we are. Our biggest drawback is the negative things we believe about ourselves and our apparent need to talk too much. When our mouths start talking, our minds stop to listen. We talk away the best ideas, the best relationships and our good health.

We may not like what time has done, but we can rely on its fairness. It works with what we give it. Time is the ultimate equalizer, and we may find ourselves toe to toe or shoulder to shoulder with the most unlikely persons in a common cause. Whatever it is that we have to offer, let it be contentment, wellbeing, true friendship, and the ability to keep quiet instead of talking away all that is good.
