Today’s thoughts:
What if you – what if every one of us – not only endeavored to tread lightly, taking care not to damage or destroy… but also made every effort to intentionally leave things better than they were when we first found them?
What if you – what if every one of us – not only treated others the way we ourselves would wish to be treated… but also went the extra mile to deliberately bring goodness and beauty into others’ lives?
What if you – what if every one of us – not only existed… but also lived mindfully?
How wonderful it could be!

You’re right, it would be.
It’s difficult to leave a mark, though, if you’re treading lightly…

Something for which to strive, anyway.

The world would truly be beautiful and you could walk down the street and into buildings and see more smiles than stressed looks on people’s faces.

If we could start every action with these thoughts in mind, we’d definitely leave things better than how we found them.

Great thoughts, but sometimes things need to be destroyed in order to create new and better possibilities. But maybe they could be destroyed kindly?

I think different situations definitely call for different strategies. It’s about using wisdom to discern what’s what, I believe.

My mom always says to leave something better than you found it–I think she and you are onto something

It will be a better world for sure, if we were mindful of what we leave behind for those who follow after us.
