Forgiveness – Part 2
Yesterday I posted how we should start the year off with forgiveness. I find it quite interesting that often when I teach about a subject a perfect opportunity for me to learn from it comes on the very day. I do not believe in coincidences but I have learned that those who teach also learn what they are teaching. I discovered this quite some time ago as I was delivering workshops to young adults and adolescents.
With the theme set up from yesterday, let’s continue for the next 6 days to practice forgiveness. Decide on one person each day to do this on. It can be the same person or a different person each day. It can even be yourself. Imagine that! Join me in freeing our minds from hurtful, nonsupporting thoughts of unforgiveness. Forgiveness is not just a one time event. It is a daily process that can deliver you peace, happiness and joy.
With gratitude and forgiveness,

The Power of Forgiveness
The power of forgiveness is well understated. It is the single tool that allows you to clear yourself of negative thinking
while also benefit others in the process. When you are free of past hurts, pains and greivances you are able to give to others the best of you. With that in mind, here’s his morning’s Daily Positive Points to get your new year started off with a positive note:
Today’s Message
Today marks the first business day of the new year. Let’s start it off right with a known cure for all things, forgiveness. Take two minutes right now to think of at least one person you could offer forgiveness. Then, in your mind’s eye, see them covered in a beautiful, white, purifying light that heals both of you at the same time.
Today’s Quote:
“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” Mark Twain (American Humorist, Writer and Lecturer. 1835-1910)
With peace, forgiveness & gratitude,

New Ideas
I was given a great quote today and thought I would share it with you. Here it is:
“Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” Oliver Wendell Holmes (US author & physician, 1809 – 1894)
So, here’s to new ideas! You ready to join me?

90 Days of Kindness – DAY 90!
Come back for more post thoughts on the Kindness Challenge.

90 Days of Kindness – Day 89
Today marks the next to last day in the kindness challenge. One question I keep asking myself is was this a successful
challenge? I thought about this a lot over the past few days. I believe my answer is that if a single person participated in the challenge and completed at least one kind deed, then yes, this was a successful challenge.
F0r me, many times I was reminded to do kind deeds because of the challenge. By keeping kindness in my awareness it allowed me to do more kind deeds. I suggest as you start off the new year, decide that you will spread your love with kindness to all that you meet. Don’t reserve the kind deeds for just people you know, share them with everyone.
May you have a positive and blessed new year!
Peace, gratitude, and kindness,
Bill
90 Days of Kindness – Day 86
The holiday seasons are about giving and compassion. Let today be a reminder to start practicing it on a daily basis if you already do not.
Happy Holidays!

90 Days of Kindness – Day 84
I ran across this quote tonight and thought I would share it with you. I believe it captures what kindness is all about
and why we kindness challenges here at idontstink.com. It is from Amelia Earhart and is worth thinking about:
“No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.” – Amelia Earhart
With kindness and gratitude,
Bill
90 Days of Kindness – Day 82
As we start to wrap up the challenge, take some time every single day through the end of the year to give gratitude to someone. End your year with grace and gratitude and get ready for a fantastic 2010.
With peace and gratitude,
Bill
