Are the Best Things in Life Free?
By: Jean Strealy
Are
the Best Things in Life Free? Life, love, time, health, reputation, and
freedom are things that people often considered as free, possibly,
because no amount of money can buy us any of them. Each of these
important parts of life requires someone to pay a price. As women, we
realize that life is brought forth in pain and love. Love is something
that is not an accident. It grows over time, if it is nourished and
nurtured. Time flees, never to return. Health must be built over a
lifetime by consuming good wholesome foods, participating in physical
activity, being in caring relationships, and having a purpose in life
that brings satisfaction and peace to your spirit. A reputation is
built or destroyed by what each individual does and says.
For
many years, I have witnessed numerous women lose one or more of these
precious gifts in life and despair. Unfortunately, most women
don’t realize that they themselves had much to do with the loss,
due to careless inattention and neglect to do the little things that
could have made the difference.
When
we fail to sit down and reflect for a moment on what is really
important and on how we can be of service to ourselves, our families,
others, and our society, we sometimes waste our energies on goals that
bring money and possible fame, but not inner peace and joy. We become
self-centered, selfish, demanding, and out of sync with nature, our
spirits and our environment.
Love
is the key to happiness. Over two thousand years ago a man named Jesus
and his followers proclaimed that we should treat others, as we wanted
to be treated. We should love others, as ourselves. Love our neighbors.
We were instructed to do good to those who mistreat us. This philosophy
“turned the world upside down.” It taught people to love
others on all levels. This was an unconditional love that left no
barriers between peoples. It requires us to act as servants to one
another.
Today
many people call this teaching by many names, but the principals remain
the same. To become truly successful in any part of our lives, we must
take care of our physical bodies, open up our spiritual lives, love our
family members, love others and do “good” to all mankind.
This elevates our sights and causes each of us to realize that
happiness is making other people happy.
During
my many adventures in this beautiful world, I have had the marvelous
opportunities to teach both children and adults to value the fragile
gifts of life, love, time, health, freedom, so that they might be
recognized as people of great character and reputation. Again and
again, I am awed by the commonality found in lives of those who love
unconditionally. They know no strangers and endeavor to help all that
pass their way. In business, they don’t step on others, but they
lift others as they pass. Their family members are treated as special
people who are given their time and attention.
Sadly
today, the average American mother spends less than five minutes
teaching and nurturing their child each day. A professor, who studies
gangs, stated that, children stayed out of gangs, if just one person
took time to make that child feel good about being his/her unique self.
That child does not want that special person to be disappointed in
them, so they stayed away from gangs. Look at your relationships. Are
you giving loving thought and time to those most important in your life?
I
feel blessed to be associated with the BraveHeart Global Women’s
Community, as a Founding Member, as we help women and children use
their creativity abilities to build productive useful lives.

Emergency Tips For Singles
And The Elderly
Are
you single, living alone? Or have a friend, or family member who is
living single? Don't wait until an emergency happens, devise a plan of
action:
* If you have a car, ask for
mechanic referrals before you need one.
* Get more than one
estimate on repair work.
* Identify handy men in the area.
* Keep a list of transportation alternatives.
* Personal security alarms.
* Choose second floor as
opposed to first floor
* Install smoke detectors.
* Plan a route of escape in the event of fire.
* Make an effort to get to
know other singles.
Exchange phone numbers.
* Use a necklace similar to
what soldiers use to hold
dog tags. Add house, car
key, or both.
* Notify a friend or family
member of your emergency
and know where they plan
to take you.
* Singles and the elderly
should consider Medical
Alert Systems as well.
