Mark Twain Travel Quote: Tolerance, Acceptance and Open Mindedness

Play the Song of the Week: Dream Catch Me:

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness- Mark Twain

Travel is our passion for these very reasons. Today’s travel lesson talks about the benefits of travel. It has opened up our minds to a whole new world that is full of diversity to embrace and enjoy not to be fearful and prejudice of. Travel gives you the opportunity to experience people from all works of life and understand just how alike we all are. This fosters peace, love, tolerance and acceptance in our world and what a better place it makes it for all.

We know this because travel did indeed kill prejudice, bigotry and narrow mindedness for us and our life is so joyful as a result. It should be a requirement of all people when they leave high school.

Another travel quote on open mindedness that we love:

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page

Expand your mind and expand your world. Read the whole novel of life, it’s beautiful, it’s fascinating and each character brings to it it’s own special role of importance and value. Discover a kaleidoscope world viewed through the eyes of commonality

Greetings from Around the World: Namaste, Wai and Big Bear Hugs

Listen to our Song of the Week here:

Today’s Daily Inspirations on Video: Traveling around the world has given us a great insight into how others live. We feel so lucky as we can pick and choose and adopt what we like. Craig and I really consider ourselves to be children of the world. We love our country, Australia but we don’t feel as if that is our first and only identity. We love to live through an expansive viewpoint of first being a human being who shares so much in common with others. We love to incorporate traditions from other cultures into our life.

There is so much to be enjoyed and appreciated in others cultures. One of these is the various forms of greetings from around the world. We love to see how other cultures respect and honor each other.  In the video we talk about kisses in France and Australia, the great big bear hugs of the US, the wai of South East Asia and the Universal word to show recognition of the divine in another human being.

When you first meet a person the first thing you should recognize and honor is the divine human being in them. Namaste…

Power of Commitment Leads to Action

“Commitment is a line you cross. It is the difference between wishing and doing.” -Unknown

Watch today’s daily inspirational video as it talks about the act of making a commitment. Most people tend to say ‘I want to be rich’ or I’d like to be thinner.’ instead of committing to it and taking the action that will bring that result. ‘Want to’ or ‘like’ are such wishy washy words and are too open for excuses. Harry Beckith wrote “It’s tempting to sit and wait for life to come to you. But it can’t. It’s too busy. Life is out there You have to go for it.”

Commitment leads to action. Any successful person I’ve ever known has been willing to take action. When you get committed instead of wanting you will actually step up to the plate and do it! Find the courage and commit today. As Wayne Gretsky quote says ‘ ‘You miss 100% of the shots you never take!’
