    Thought of the Day: Devotion to Others, Serve Willingly, With a Glad Heart

    Today's thought of the day enters on the power of selfless service, emphasizing that everyone possesses the capacity to contribute positively to others' lives. It defines a "heart full of grace" as virtuous and compassionate, suggesting that serving others cultivates both personal growth and spiritual connection. The author encourages readers to embrace service with love and compassion, prompting reflection on motivations and expectations surrounding acts of kindness. Finally, the text connects serving others with finding meaning and purpose in life. When you do something for someone else, what kind of expectations do you have of how that other person should react to your help? What are some of the hidden gems in a life of servitude towards our fellow man? Do you ask yourself some of the important questions about life? If not, how long will you wait? --- Recorded by: Felipe Khristopher Blue, LCAS, LCMHCA, CCS, CCTP, CMNCS, C-DBT Executive Director of More Than Therapy 201 W Main Street Suite 316 Durham, NC 27701 Office: 1-919-729-6300 Business Mobile: 1-919-679-2263 Do you want/need therapy and live in NC or SC?

    Thought of the Day: Are You a Pessimist or an Optimist?

    The thought of the day presents a reflective meditation on perspective, contrasting optimistic and pessimistic viewpoints with a more analytical, engineering-like approach. It explores the author's personal experiences of shifting between these perspectives, emphasizing the power of choosing gratitude and appreciating life's blessings. The meditation encourages self-reflection on how one interprets challenges, suggesting that difficulties often offer valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Finally, it proposes that our happiness hinges less on avoiding hardship and more on constructively interpreting life's lessons. Do you see the glass as half empty or half full? Are you afraid that a half-empty glass will soon be gone, or are you glad that you have half a glass of something to enjoy? How do the "half-empty" people affect you when you're around them? Are their views generally positive? Is it realistic to expect that all of our glasses should be full all the time? --- Recorded by: Felipe Khristopher Blue, LCAS, LCMHCA, CCS, CCTP, CMNCS, C-DBT Executive Director of More Than Therapy (A 5013C Program of the FAEJ Foundation) 201 W Main Street Suite 316 Durham, NC 27701 Office: 1-919-729-6300 Business Mobile: 1-919-679-2263 Do you want/need therapy and live in NC or SC?
