One day at a Time ! Review
It had me thinking about a few people and how they easily give up in life , work , on people and some even do this on social media.
The uniqueness and singleness which distinguishes each individual and gives a meaning to his existence has a bearing on creative work as much as it does on human love - Victor Frankl
Human love has the power to move lives. I've seen and read testimonials of kind heart's who are an embodiment of this love.
This book by Danielle Steel "One day at a time". A romantic novel had me glued in to finish the book in about 4 hours. It had me intrigued on how we rush with things in life.
One day at a time is an absolute winner for me not because it has a happy ending. But because it got me thinking.
Because it tells you to be your authentic self no matter how many people think low of you or misjudge you or think your not good enough.
IMO It's about what you want in life, how does it contribute value in your life and how it affects the people around you.
This is a contradiction. I talk about you and I talk about the people around you.
There needs to be a balance of value to you and others. We can't grow alone. We've used the world( Our immediate surrounding ) and the people around it to help us grow.
We can't be selfish and think I want all the benefits in the world for myself. It will affect the people around the world that live in poverty. Current global politics is a live example ! Imagine if the funding to all the African countries is stopped. We are facing the world's largest humanitarian crisis now.
The least I can do is try to make a change in the life of the person next to me and think of ways I can do the same with a larger audience. Us talking here is a good example.
We must do the things we want to do without causing harm or discomfort to the people, place and things around us.
This creates a balance in your environment allows you to thrive wherever you are.
Being considerate of oneself and other's is the key to success in any environment.Author in Source Title
A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how."
Victor Frankl

Dear Fatima, wisdom is a multi-person ladder we climb together, it's rungs may take us back to the beginning (the source) or a new horizon. The key is that wisdom is a relationship that comes through learning & being, it is not something that anyone can brand & buy. I honour you equally.

Thank you CityVP \ud83d\udc1d Manjit It did make me doubt what life is it we are living. What is it that I achieve out of the ordinary. I am going to hold onto these words for the rest of my life. " If we accept that greater truth and freedom means we open ourselves to that which is beyond what our own feelings can deal with, then we proceed mindfully and purposefully in a direction that recognizes that fear is the boundary between life and this truth." We should succumb to our feelings but look beyond that boundary of fear. Your words are wisdom for life. Thanks a ton.

As this hidden world of horror reveals itself, it will make us doubt that more and more people are taking an integrated view of life for the sheer extent of horror will overwhelms us - but as we realize what has been sitting under the surface, the reality of that truth revealing itself will test our own spirit. That is when we are most likely to surrender our hopes, which ironically is the realization of hope. There are pot holes of transformation which have realized themselves but there are many hidden places in which all forms of abominations and cruelties are dispensed and it is still at a scale which is beyond the ability of any individual to come to terms with. If we accept that greater truth and freedom means we open ourselves to that which is beyond what our own feelings can deal with, then we proceed mindfully and purposefully in a direction that recognizes that fear is the boundary between life and this truth. That is why people are enamored with movie lines such as "you can't handle the truth" from A Few Good Men https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FnO3igOkOk - that is a line that straddles hypocrisy and what we fear we may get to know. It does not make life more right, more ethical or more humane, but it is a reality of the cesspool which is due to impatience of the powerful. What is human to a leader of a poor country is equally the line that leader draws, if we are impatient in what we elect to power then the same impatience create a false line between the humane and the inhuman. Unfortunately not even the bastion of what should represent a wiser form of "democracy" is ready for that so in all group actions there continues to be constant failure. No so the individual. We are individual and as there are more like us, we will establish a critical mass for the transformation we want to see as our world's future.

Thank you @Franci🐝Eugenia Hoffman After reading the Book " One day at a time. I wanted to write about it and tossing through my drafts and noticed that I saved his quote on my notes long time ago and they add volume to message I am trying to convey. John Bytheway quote is straightforward hits the nail on the head. I'm hearing the word cinch for the first time. And it has three different meaning. Drawing the attention of @Sara Jacobovici for Wednesday words collection.

I think I'll like the dontsweat.com just by looking at the website. The books I shall add them to my collection. "One day at a time, one step at a time, while maintaining a positive outlook, compassion and kindness towards others" This quote summed up the whole buzz Thank you
