Working away w/Brief Thoughts On The #USElections As the W-End Looms


It has been quite a week on the US Election Cycle.      As the US Media has begun a concerted campaign to discuss the challenges regarding Donald Trump, this one by the +Vox  +Ezra Klein was quite perceptive: 


The Pols, though, have not been kind to Mrs. Clinton as Five Thirty Eight now is giving Mrs. Clinton only a 60% chance of winning--quite telling as Mrs. Clinton returns to the campaign trail: 

FiveThirtyEight
Hillary Clinton
60.0%
Donald Trump
40.0%

Working Away w/Brief Notations For the Day On #Purpose, #Love & Other Thoughts...

Of all the thoughts I have shared on this "Virtual Space" as I continued working away on Daily Outsider and other projects, this one probably has captured th essence of what I have hoped to achieve:

“Did I offer peace today?
Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?
Did I say words of healing?
Did I let go of my anger and resentment?
Did I forgive?
Did I love?
These are the real questions.
I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now
will bear many fruits,
here in this world and the life to come.”

~ Henri Nouwen 

Profound questions I ask myself daily--as I look forward to doing my small part to make a difference.

Onward....

On the Eve of a New Week: A "Thought 4 the Week" To Share




As I hope all have a chance to click on the above image to check out my collection on Twenty20, I wanted to begin the new week with two thoughts I ran across while "on the Grid" as I look Onward to the new Week with all its' possibilities:

“If you really want world-class success,
decide today
to stop 
caring what other people think
and keep your own counsel.

Others may or may not
have your best interests at heart,
but 
you always will.
Calm down
and listen to the little voice 
inside
and have the guts to follow it.
Trust yourself
and know 
that if you’re wrong
you have the ability to bounce back.

Caring about other people is an asset.
Caring about what other 
people think
is a liability.”

~ Steve Siebold


“When you are tempted to give up,
your breakthrough is probably
just around the corner.”
~ Joyce Meyer
