Master Shifu

Hi all, today I present you with this wonderful quote by Master Shifu from the movie Kung fu Panda 3. In one scene Master Shifu told Po to teach a Master's Class and Po was so against it saying things like, "Who me?", "I can't do that" and so forth and so on. However, he went ahead and followed Master Shifu orders. Of course he failed miserably at teaching the class. Later he found out that Master Shifu KNEW he couldn't teach the class and it hurt his feelings because he felt he was being set up to fail. Then the "Ah Ha" moment came. Master Shifu replied, "If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now." How often have we closed the door of an opportunity because we felt we couldn't do it? With current uncertain conditions and people feeling like they are stuck inside their own homes when world is under the Grip of a deadly Pandemic, consider doing something you feel you "can't do". Try a new thing, develop a new skill, adopt a new hobby. Growth takes place outside of the box and outside of our comfort zones. Greatness already resides in you. PUSH THROUGH to manifest it!!!! Remember you have the POWER to CREATE each day INTENTIONALLY GOOD and to Be Beautifully Inspired!

Socrates and The Oracle of Delphi

For today, enjoy an interesting story dating back centuries. It talks about Socrates, his thinking and why he's known to be one of the wisest man in history.

After his service in the war, Socrates devoted himself to his favorite pastime: the pursuit of truth.

His reputation as a philosopher, literally meaning 'a lover of wisdom', soon spread all over Athens and beyond. When told that the Oracle of Delphi had revealed to one of his friends that Socrates was the wisest man in Athens, he responded not by boasting or celebrating, but by trying to prove the Oracle wrong.

So Socrates decided he would try and find out if anyone knew what was truly worthwhile in life, because anyone who knew that would surely be wiser than him. He set about questioning everyone he could find, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Instead they all pretended to know something they clearly did not.

Finally he realized the Oracle might be right after all. He was the wisest man in Athens because he alone was prepared to admit his own ignorance rather than pretend to know something he did not.
