On the Eve of Cyrus The Great Day: On Freedoms & The Need to Love (Random Thoughts)

As I write this, it is the eve of Cyrus the Great Day on October 29.  I picked this depiction up while on Facebook that detailed what was the first true "bill of Rights" which included: 

• The Right to Live Where One chose
• Spread Peace and Love
• To Build and to Develop
• To be Happy and content always
• Freedom of Expression and Thought
• Abolition of Slavery
• A Right to Work and Develop for a better life

Cyrus the Great had this vision over 2500 years ago. Many of these admonitions were embraced by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison--although we need to remember that it took America almost 100 years and a Civil War to abolish Slavery.   The same challenge are before us today.  

On the eve of this working weekend and as we approach the final week of the US Presidential Elections, I hope we all embrace and remember these courtesy of +Jonathan Huie as I wish all a fabulous Friday and a fabulous Weekend:

Spread love everywhere you go.
Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
- Mother Teresa

Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.
- Pema Chodron

With Two Weeks Left Until November 8........

Early Voting has already begun here in the United States.    Voting is going to be quite personal as polls continue to show Mrs. Clinton Ahead.    As I checked Five Thirty-Eight within the past 10 minutes (as I do daily for The Daily Outsider), they had not done any updated forecasts yet--although Mrs. Clinton seems to be dominating in all the polls.     This is as Mr. Trump touted that Investors Business Daily and Rasmussen showed him close.    

What I only yearn for is 100% turnout as all need to remember that there are many around the World who have died or are in prison for simply wanting to have the right to vote.   This is why I view this that was sent out by +Jonathan Huie in his daily outreach was so timely as we in the United States and the World await the results of elections throughout the United States:

We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.

- R. Buckminster Fuller

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone,

and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

- John Quincy Adams 

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us;

what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.

- Albert Pike

Create the legacy of a better world.

Leave this world a better place than you found it.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie 

On the Eve of The New Week: #MotivationMonday :)

Enough said...onward to the new week:

“You have this one life.
How do you want to spend it?
Apologizing? Regretting?
Questioning? Hating yourself? Dieting?
Running after people who don’t see you?
Be brave.
Believe in yourself.
Do what feels good.
Take risks.
You have this one life.
Make yourself proud.”
