Random Acts Of Kindness

It's been said "what we put out into the universe is what the universe shall return to us". Others call it Karma, and many believe it's no more than "doing the next right thing. To show a random act of kindness, expecting and accepting nothing in return, for to do so would only take away the value of giving, only to give from the heart and not be associated with the the abundance of negativity, based on the programmed attitudes we inherit that have us thinking, and constantly asking, "so what's in it for me?"
We sometimes forget how good it makes us feel to give to someone in need. When we do help another and expect nothing in return. It sets off a chemical reaction inside of us which signals us that this is who we really are, who we were meant to be, and how we were suppose to live our lives, unselfishly and aligned with the universal power of love. That is why it feels so good to help another, to give without unselfish motive or expected to receive special favor. It feels right because it is right! We feel good because we have done something good. The feeling we receive isn't by accident, but by design. It feels beautiful because live was designed to be beautiful, filled with love and brotherhood, much unlike the lives we lead in this fast paced dog-eat dog world. This is our escape from the evolution of self-centeredness, self seeking, and self righteousness.
When we give from our heart we receive that joy right back from the universe, or what ever source you believe to be your higher power. The gift we receive is priceless, yet unfortunately not timeless. The emotional high can only be substained by a continuous and selfless stream of giving. I believe we were always intended to be loving and caring to each other when we were all at one time aligned with the good intentions of life itself. Only humans have changed. The changing of the seasons can be counted on year after year. The trees and the flowers keep their same routine as do the animals who have kept the same routine forever. What can we do to get our self aligned with everything else, including peace and harmony and just to feel good about our selves and those around us? Give without receiving, love without being loved in return, put a smile on a strangers face even when you are feeling troubled, and believe you were not put here to be unhappy, but to reap the joy, share your heart with another, and continue to do random acts of kindness, and you will receive your peace and serenity in exchange. Spread the love, Enjoy the peace, feel the harmony, and reap the blessings

How Do We Define Heroism?

What is about a person that makes them a hero in our eyes ? Of course our children often see us as heroes, but that is a conditioned response from our nurturing them and making them feel safe. We've all heard of fire fighters running into burning buildings to save complete strangers and often giving their own lives, or brave police officers being killed in the line of duty while protecting you and me. And then of course there's the brave soldiers, many of them still in their teens , putting their lives on the line while protecting our freedom and the freedom of others. Whether we believe in the cause that have taken so many young lives or not, the point is they gave their all, in an effort to best secure the freedom and safety of their families and the rest of the country, because they believed they were fighting for a just cause. These are heroes who knew the dangers that they were up against, and g-d bless them all.

What gives a person the courage to put the fate of another human being ahead of their own welfare? People who woke up and had no plans on putting out a fire, chasing criminals, or being shot at in some far away country. Someone just going about their way, their main concern on that day was to go through their daily routine, get in their car, fasten their seat belt for safety, and head out that day with their main concern being to provide for their family and them selves.

Then suddenly they find themselves in a predicament that they could have never imagined when they left their home that day. They new someone had to do something and do it fast. But who? " Surely this called for someone who was trained for this". But without another thought, they sprung into action, the life of another in danger and giving very little weight to ones own life. That's a hero, a person without knowledge or training, or any idea they would have this event unfold before them when they awoke that morning.

Do you have a hero that you would like to share with us? They don't have to be someone who put their life on the line, but could be someone who went above and beyond what was expected of them, in order to help another. If so, please Email me at bocaboyjay@aol.com with your story and I'll publish it on this site and recognize them as TRUE HEROES.
