As Dr. Fantastic, I always say ” everything happens as it should, when it should”. When you begin to understand that life unfolds in its own time, and you accept that truth instead of fighting it, life becomes much, much easier. Too many people worry about the future, stress about the past, and don’t see the importance of the present. Worrying is useless. It is fruitless, and it is bad energy. If you worry about something and it never happens, it did no good. If you worry about something and it does happen, it still did no good. There is constructive planning, and there is creative thinking, but worrying only ages you and drains your spirit.
My mother died from worrying. It can cause ulcers, and that is what took her life in her 30’s. The human mind can preoccupy itself with too much negativity, and that is why I have spent my life finding the positive in everything. I cannot see negativity in my life because I choose to look at every experience in a positive way. As they say, there is always a silver lining to every cloud. If I am in an accident, I look for the lesson, and I look for the blessing. If it doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger.
One time I was in an auto accident, and although accidents happen, I met a pretty nurse and bought a new car from the insurance. I would never have met her otherwise or got a better car. That is how life works when you trust destiny.
I encourage all of our Ambassadors of Kindness to do the same. Every day I share motivational quotes from the great Stoics, fantastic people like Abraham Lincoln, poets, writers, and wise people throughout history. I offer them freely because it is my gift to the world. The Kindness Revolution is also my gift to the world. People often do not appreciate what is free because they assume there must be a catch. But kindness is not a catch. Kindness is a calling.
For the last eight years on the road, I have been trying to make the world a better place. I am trying to save the world from the insanity of humanity, and I need your help. If you are an Ambassador of Kindness, thank you for believing in the mission. Kindness does solve most the world’s problems. Being kind to yourself is one of the hardest and most important commitments you can make. Being kind to others helps stop wars, violence, lying, stealing, cheating, corruption, greed, and all the horrors of man. Being kind to Mother Earth matters too, because this is our home.
We have serious problems in the world, including pollution and the lack of clean water for billions of people. We must stop polluting. We must recycle more, repurpose more, and reimagine how we live. I am an eco-artist, and I teach that change is possible. I do not like to dwell on problems for too long. I prefer solutions. One of the greatest solutions is kindness, and it is working. The Global Kindness Pledge is manifesting real results, and I am grateful to every Ambassador of Kindness who is helping.
I am proud to say we now have over 17,450 volunteer Goodwill Ambassadors of Kindness. The ones working especially hard will be receiving a paycheck very soon. I am very happy to be doing this in retirement. It is a lot of fun. I am meeting fantastic people, and wonderful opportunities are coming my way, not because I was looking for them, but because kindness rewards kindness.
I also have opportunities for people to make money, and I want to share them because people seem to need to make money. I am not interested in money anymore. I had a lot of it before, and it does not buy happiness. It buys shiny things and fake friends. So I hope you are following my wisdom and the wisdom of others that I share every day on Be Fantastic YouTube.
Have a fantastic Friday. Have a fantastic weekend. Have a fantastic life. Every day on the top side of the grass is up to you to make it fantastic. And I hope to see you tomorrow on my ‘Be Fantastic’ YouTube channel.
