I love watching wildlife. It’s so beautiful to me. But have you ever thought about what you can learn from it? We are humans and we often think of ourselves as the most advanced species, but are we really?

Here we are destroying our earth with chemicals and greed. We damage people’s lives with our anger and our words with no thought of how it will affect the world around us.

Yes, nature kills, but only enough for it to eat, or to defend itself and its extended family. They take the time to rest and to play, even the ferocious lion. They taste and enjoy the fruit of the land. They do not sit and suffer; they work every day to build their homes and provide for their children. They do not take more than they need. As one animal dies, another animal will gather their remains so that their children can survive. Every being on earth has its purpose, everyone fulfills its role.

Ponder that today as you are going through your busy day and think about what you can learn from wildlife.

Mother Teresa is a living example that you’re never too old and that it’s never too late to make a difference in the world. She kept going and going — giving and giving until she could give no more. And yet, even though she is no longer with us physically, her spiritual impact still affects [...]

This week, we will take a look at Dr. Martin Luther King — a man that changed the world forever. He was not born rich or privileged. In fact, he was born in a time that some people thought African Americans were second or third class citizens.

If anyone had a challenge in life it was Helen Keller, who was both deaf and blind. She is an example of someone who overcame insurmountable odds to make a difference. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be to not see or hear? And you thought you had problems, right?

If you don’t know a lot about Ghandi, I invite you to do some research on him — he was quite an amazing man. However, up until he became well known, many people believed the only way you could really change the world or stand up to oppression was through war. Ghandi proved that [...]

Abraham Lincoln is one of the best examples in United States history of a man who defied all obstacles in life and never quit. For him, each failure was a stepping stone to success.
