Great People
The ones who walked the talk
- Mahatma Gandhi
- "Who can ever disregard the important contributions of Gandhi to the concept of peace? While we try organizations and international relations, Gandhi taught it is the INTERIOR of vast numbers of people, praying, fasting and sacrificing that actually make the difference."
- Mr. Rogers
- "From my late teens, through my twenties, and into my thirties, I always thought I would someday sit down and write a letter of thanks to Fred Rogers. His passing came as an unexpected shock. I never wrote that letter, and I deeply regret it."
- Mother Theresa
- "When my husband was dying of cancer, the 24 hour care he would need was beyond our financial means (we had no insurance, of course), and beyond my capacity."
- Mattie Stepanek
- "Mattie Stepanek wanted to be known as a poet, peacemaker and philosopher who played. Even though he had a rare form of muscular dystrophy, dysautonomic mitochondrial myopathy, Mattie was able to accomplish a lot in his short life. He was not limited by the disease."
Let's make it big!
The dream for this lens is to make it the COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS of mankind on the subject of how to LIVE LIFE WELL.
What should you say?
Write your truth, your advice, your "secret of life." Post your official message to the world. Your message is of utmost importance. Do not delay. The world awaits your wisdom.
Who really knows?
You do. Maybe you've never thought about it, but DO think about it; you'll see that you have something to say. Your words will resonate with someone here, perhaps many, perhaps thousands -- perhaps you'll change lives!

My favorite days are the ones that just seem to unfold themselves without any plans made by me to interfere with spontaneous delights that I wouldn't maybe experience if I was going by my list of things to do.

Great lens, thought provoking. For what it's worth but won't go down well I assume. " For a principle which everyone must have, who understands anything that is. Is not a hypothesis. Evidently then, such a principle is the most certain of all. Which principle this is, let us proceed to say, it is. That the same attribute cannot at the same time belong and not belong, to the same subject in the same respect." Aristotle. Something like that anyway.
