Traveling a Path

Positive Approach Through Life

I have mentioned some lessons learned from my maternal grandfather in a number of posts and also in my book, “Healing Your Life Through Activity – An Occupational Therapist’s Story“. I learned a lot from my maternal grandmother too. My grandmother, loved to share poems and songs.

Traveling a Path

An example of a poem my grandmother loved

“I shall pass by this way but once

 Therefore any goodness that I can do
 

 Or any kindness that I can show

Let me do it now.

 For I shall not walk this way again” ~ Anonymous

What have you learned from your parents and grandparents?

What kind of lessons have you learned from your parents and grandparents? Do you try to use them in a positive way in order to increase goodness and kindness in the world? Do they give you motivation to strive to fulfill your potential?
The above poem has given me insight and direction. I’d love to hear what your favourite life lesson is or poem. Do share how it has shaped your thinking or outlook in life.
