Not For Sale
The 15 things adults need today that are not for sale
Sleep – this is the first thing we sacrifice that has no substitute for well-being
Healthy Food – what we eat and when we eat it programs our future
Healthy Movement – this releases our negative emotions and rewards our bodies, advertised exercise usually does not
Touching – our fears have made it illegal to have physical contact, without it we are perpetually needy
Darkness – most of the physical world and our existence is the dark empty void, yet we do not embrace or value it as a necessary source
Fresh Air – this critical prophylactic is now endangered
Sunshine – we don’t know how to get the right amount in our urban office age
Limits – we consume, talk, act, and rule without an appreciation that quality is driven by quantity
Stillness – busyness has become a business selling false happiness, few understand how to be still and know that I am god
Silence – silence is a music of its own more beautiful than any man-made melody
Solitude –being alone in peace is more powerful than any other experience
Play – from the children we need to relearn simple play for its own sake
Laughter – the joy found in experience is far superior to manufactured humor at the expense of others
Compassion – this is what makes the human unique and progresses humanity
Love – only love is immutable, only it can be created but not destroyed – it is our hope and our reason to live
Look to this day
For it is life;
The very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
The realities and truths of existence;
The joy of growth;
The splendor of action;
The glory of power.
For yesterday is but a memory,
And tomorrow is only a vision,
But today well lived
Makes every yesterday a memory of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
