Now although this is a beautiful statement by a very special man, I have to admit I was irritated when I read this quote. Not because of any other reason than it had always been my own mantra and I thought I had got there first ! Kindness was the only rule I had for my children (apart from drink lots of water ) and my own personal belief . 

So why was I annoyed ? and yes, I realise it wasn’t very kind of me or even sane to assume that he was plagiaristic ! It put a whole new meaning onto my own beliefs . Always think kind thoughts until someone annoys you !!! 

 

You see that’s the problem with kindness - its hard to keep going all the time . 

Do you remember this by Douglas Adam 

 

Well I suppose it could be - it was said as a joke by Douglas but many people have found meaning in this number , (which goes to show you can find purpose and meaning anywhere if you look. ) 

 

So maybe like me you have you spent many an hour of your life trying to think what your true purpose is - maybe you even came up with a great plan only to see that it slips away like a wish in the wind. 

 

Have you written lots of notes, thought a lot about the meaning of life to not even get a number !!! Have you listened to lots of podcasts or mp3s hoping for inspiration and meaning . Have you bought many a course or book that determines you will find that elusive purpose if only you fill out the form or complete the programme or sign up on the website - only to realise later that although you have come up with a purpose it feels hollow and contrived
