Day 50-Take Time

Today
Awaken and act
Kindly with
Energy and eagerness;

Take
Initiative and inspire
Motivate and
Ease even one.

An old Chinese Proverb states:  "One cannot manage too many affairs:  like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other."  However, while you are trying to manage many pumpkins in the water or pots boiling on the stove, if you take time to act kindly and inspire another, the ripple effect will occur and motivate others to do the same.  So indeed the pumpkins may not all stay under water, but the ever expanding ripples of kindness will continue and may be of even greater value.
