A quick New Year’s thought

I hope today finds you feeling well.

To start this New Year I was thinking about people. There are people who do well. We can applaud those who are successful, who make great discoveries, create, work hard, and accomplish all types of wonder.

We can hold people up as examples of success. We can teach our youth the importance of success.

We can never judge people. We never know who has reached their full potential or in the process of trying or maybe not knowing what their full potential maybe. Some may never find their best. Yet in no circumstance can we say one person is better than another. All people have the same value. Many may give more and yet all have value. Some person’s value or contribution may never be known and not even by themselves. Some may be lost. Many may feel inferior, yet they need to overcome. Humility or being humble is good. It is good to be successful and not acknowledge it. It is good to be acknowledged for your success. It is okay for someone to acknowledge your efforts. Just remember it is all fleeting. Enjoy accolades, yet staying humble will win you greater respect, however, if ever you feel you are better than another person; have more worth than another person; then you are demeaning your own worth.

In today’s world, many many people will disagree with the above. I know this. It is still correct. I have posted similar before. With the New Year, though we need to be reminded of the simple things. We are all equal in worth, in value, no matter how great we succeed or how little we do. If we fail, we fail ourselves and the world, yet at any given time anyone of us can succeed and again we may succeed at any time and sometimes no one may know what is the success. Still no one is better than another person. If ever a person says to you I am better; ask yourself are they saying I am a better businessman or better athlete or artist, yet never ever let them say I am better than you as a person.  If they say or think such, please quietly go on your way. Do not let this ever affect you as a person.

In the grand scheme of things no one is more important than another.

You are a person and you are blessed.

And on that note I hope the New Year brings you great blessings. Just remember to be grateful for all you do receive.

Happy New Year
